Default Russell Buchanan steps down as VP of InterNACHI

Effective immediately, I am relinquishing my status as VP of InterNACHI. I have held this position for more than a year and think it’s time for someone else to take over the duties as VP.
I am honored to have been asked by Nick to be the VP of InterNACHI and I regret that I have not had the time to contribute more. This is the main reason for stepping down. HomeGauge is growing and with many ideas and future improvements soon to come my obligations with HomeGauge requires more attention and I am not able to give the VP position of InterNACHI fair time.
I feel I can do more for InterNACHI as a regular vendor than I can as VP. Many InterNACHI members use HomeGauge and I want to continue helping InterNACHI and its members by providing the best features and services inspectors can offer its customers and agents.
As we move into the future look for more opportunities with HomeGauge and InterNACHI.
Many excellent inspectors are members of InterNACHI. Thank you for allowing me the privilege to be Vice President of InterNACHI.

HomeGauge in the past has always been neutral with all orgs...but there's no denying it, INACHI clearly provides the best value to its inspectors and is dominating ASHI, NAHI and the others in all areas when it comes to giving value to its customers.

Truly I say no other association has done more for vendors and its members than InterNACHI. You have given me (HomeGauge)the spotlight many times before I was VP and treat all vendors as fair as possible.

As time went on and I kept finding myself to busy to keep involved as VP, I felt it was a disservice to continue as VP.

HomeGauge loves InterNACHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear that you are stepping down Russell, but if it means making HomeGauge a better product than what it already is, you have to do what is in your best interests sometimes.

Good luck and thanks for the work that you have done for InterNACHI.

It's been a year and a half since Russell stepped down as Vice President of NACHI. Did we ever obtain a new one? Just curious.
