Oppose ASTM developing standards
ASTM International has scheduled its next meeting on the development of standards for home inspection services:
September 24, 2007
ASTM International Headquarters
100 Barr Harbor Drive
West Conshohocken, Pa.
For directions, go to www.astm.org.
The ASHI Board of Directors encourages all members to attend and cast a vote in opposition to the proposed development of inspection standards.
If you plan on attending, e-mail Pat A. Picariello, ASTM director, developmental operations, at ppicarie@astm.org.
The vote to determine whether this activity will take place will be live at the meeting — proxies will not be accepted.
