Nice Valentine Nick

Like I said, this Brion guy is a class act. Note how the buck stopped with him and he took responsibility for the problem, even though he didn't cause it. Good fella IMHO.

[Larry D. Kage]

Good leader...

[Russell Spriggs]

I enjoy seeing professionals acting as such.

Like I said in the beginning and I will say now .... all we ever wanted was RECIPROCITY.

For each and every seminar ASHI Requires that we ...

1. Send in a lesson Plan.

2. Send in a bio of our instructor.

3. Send in $25.00 per unit / hour of CEU for "Review Fees" then they may or MAY NOT approve our course.

What started all of this mess was that our local New Hampshire ASHI Chapter was charging us / NACHI $150.00 for a course that a vendor was providing to them for free.

To make matters worse they were falsely claiming that this course was "Worth 7-hours of NACHI CEU's".

They/ ASHI became hysterical when we/NACHI demanded that they follow the SAME ASHI policy and procedures that they DEMANDED of NACHI!

This lead Nick to put his foot down and ask the COE Committee to consider "requiring" all of NACHI inspectors who had a dual membership in ASHI to "make a choice" as to which Association that they wanted to belong to.

As we all know it was decided {by Joe Farsetta} that this was a business decision and was not a code of ethics decision. I am happy to say that this "New Hampshire" matter went all the way up the chain of command and we finally got what we were looking for ........... Reciprocity!

So we have closed the one-way street that has been all ASHI, ASHI, ASHI, since day one!

Hooray for our side!

And Nick ...... Thanks for standing firm on this issue!

YOU are what keeps NACHI strong!

Well said.

[Russel Ray]

How come it's not addressed to the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors?

Funny, I question anyone who is part of Housemaster; afterall, they were proven in court to be liars and cheaters.

Dang. Nachos future must be looking bleak, and going pretty rough,
now even nachos past president [ that many in the profession consider a honorable man] is resorting to name calling, and discrediting other inspectors that refuse to pay Nickey for membership in his club.

Hey, Dan.

Happy New Year, albeit six weeks into it, but, hey, greetings are greetings, right? Hope all is well.

Its seems I owe you an apology for knocking you and your posts and thoughts. I have found out for myself that what you have been persistant in saying all these years is true!

Keep up the good work!

[Frank M. Carrio, CMI]

Nick,
Thanks for all of your efforts.

PS:
Tell the ASHI Pres. that those of us in New Hampshire appreciate him "doing the right thing".!
