The St. Louis Chapter is proud of its contributions to the community. Twice-a-year seminars improve the quality of home inspection services available to consumers and the chapter gives directly to the community by hosting a blood drive.

For the 25th year, the St. Louis Chapter held two educational seminars. The seminars are included in annual chapter membership dues and are available to non-chapter members for a fee.

ASHI Past-President Mike Casey was the keynote speaker at the November conference, and he covered electrical systems in his educational session. A representative from the Missouri Association of Realtors® was present to explain why it supports a proposed state constitutional amendment preventing the implementation of a transfer tax on real estate by any jurisdiction in the state.

Attendees from Illinois, Arkansas and Tennessee earned CEUs required by their states. Home inspectors from Kansas also attended and Sarah Walsh, ASHI membership administrator, was a special guest.

During the seminar, the chapter hosted a blood drive. According to a representative from the local American Red Cross, more units were collected than expected at this type of function.

There were walk-ins from the community as well as the home inspectors and vendors attending the seminar.

The Blood Truck made it convenient for St. Louis Chapter seminar attendees to participate in the chapter-sponsored blood drive.

Don Norman, an ASHI past-president and current chapter education chair, worked with his committee to ensure the success of both events.
