You can catch up if you hurry

by Edited by ASHI Staff October 1, 2002

If you haven’t renewed your Membership yet, all the membership benefits you’ve worked so hard for may be in jeopardy. Don’t let this happen. Act quickly. Take advantage of the new, convenient online, dues-paying option today. Go to the Members Only section of ashi.org. When you sign in, your dues-paying link will appear.

Keep pushing the number higher

As ASHI hits that magic 6,000 Membership mark, take time to reflect on the strength of your professional organization. Then get started again, sharing news about the benefits of Membership with all the unaligned home inspectors you know. ASHI members enhance their profession, and anything that enhances the profession in the eyes of potential customers helps you.

Vote on bylaw revision before time runs out

At the July meeting, ASHI’s Board of Directors recommended amending Bylaw Article 2.1.2b by striking out “not recommend individuals or businesses for any repair work.” The amendment must be approved by the Members, who have the opportunity to vote by mail or online. As more Members opt for online, the election process becomes easier for the voters and less costly for the Society. All votes must be received by October 15, 2002.

Get ready, set, go to Chapter Leadership Day   

Each year, this gathering of ASHI enthusiasts from the across the country, just keeps getting better. October 25, 2002 will be a day filled with discussions about legislation, legal issues including chapter liability, public relations at the chapter level and more. It’s a rewarding experience and every chapter deserves to be represented. Last minute questions? Contact bobk@ashi.org
