Executive Director of CMI not even CMI

No, of course not.

John was comparing accomplishments of the 2 EDs as if they both had an equivilent chance to demonstrate their capabilities. Nick has been at it for at lest 5 years. As far as I know the most recent appointee was named about 5 weeks ago (or thereabouts).


I know some are predisposed not to like the new ED based on his associations and affiliations. But it seems unfair to 1) criticize him for not being a CMI when Nick was not and 2) to compare his CMI related resume to Nick's since he is only newly appointed.

It should also be noted that he does not bear any responsibility to post or acknowledge the NACHI site in order to perfrom his duties as they relate to CMI. CMI is entirely separate from NACHI and perhaps his lack of posts here is another step to reinforce the association-neutral aspect of CMI.

Me thinks it is time for existing CMI board to take over the watch, hold a meeting and address the issues on the table

Mike is not driving the ship -- Some of us have a good feeling about this program and do not want to see it die

Right now it is real close to being what many have stated -- a waste of $$

Where is the board???

I hope that my question is answered -- If not ???

As I understand it, the CMI Board is advisory only and has no capacity to assume any authority whatsoever.

This is probably sad but true

But it is time for them to "advise" or leave

They need to put out some information some where. Even the CMI MB is quiet. it appears they are moving everything over to Mikes site http://www.masterinspector.net/ they have been updating some of it today.

Mike seems to be staying where he is in complete control of what is said to and about him and his program.

It must be at his home

Please think before you title threads and then attempt to recant what your original criticsm was.

Nick also does not hold the CMI designation as far as I can tell. This puts them on equal footing in that regard.

Nick took 5 years (perhaps longer depending on which post you read) to develop to the point where CMI was publicly proposed. It would only seem fair to allow the current ED some time to develop a track record in the position.

As Joe Farsetta said in his post... the new ED has not
even applied for to be a CMI... (I'm sure he is worthy)

Nick created the CMI.

I guess there is a little difference in the two.
Perhaps the size of the grand canyon...

Can you imagine what would happen if Nick reached the
day of the CMI grand opening and never showed up?

Everybody would be asking, "where's Nick?"

If you know something Mr Michalski, please tell us.

Are you saying that the new ED has shown some interest
in CMI that you can document for us?

As far as I can see, he has not "showed up", "signed up", or
"spoke up".

I know that we can all keep waiting till the cows come home,
but why?

Come on John.....You can still be a CMI without him, or anyone else......

So the new ED is not a CMI and neither was the old one (nick). So what?

I see his name listed as ED on the CMI website, replacing Nick's under the 'contact us' area. I doubt that would have been done without his permission.

If you're upset that he has not posted here, perhaps you should ask "why would he?" CMI is not a NACHI program - why post on th NACHI Board? It would not be unheard of for the ED to work directly with the President out of public view - it works that way at NACHI quite often.

If they are updating the other site, tehn it would appear that there is serious effort to place CMI coversations where they belong - on their own dedicated BB.

Michael Rowan turned down Nicks choice for ED and selected
his own man.

The new ED has not posted anywhere, uploaded a CMI logo or
made a peep.

I am grateful that J. Bowman, NACHI's ED has been active,
vocal, and demonstrating his helpful works for all of us.
His public support and good works are visible in many areas.

It's too bad we cannot have someone like him as the CMI ED.

It would be odd if J. Bowman was silent, non active and
no where to be found... do you get my point?

Also, look at Nicks signatures... he is a CMI and proud of it.
That helps all of us know that someone at the top
believes in what he does.

Now go look at the new CMI ED... he does not list anything
about CMI on his web site or anywhere else that I can find.

He acts just like he did when he was a non member... in fact
he may not even be a member yet... that's what it looks like.

The other forum has Michael's few little post but nothing
from the new ED. I would like to know what's going on?

I like posting to this forum so I can enjoy your fellowship.
You don't provide many answers, but I like your witty attempts.

Are we having fun yet?

There is but one CMI Board and it is www.certifiedmasterinspector.org.

If you go to Mikes MasterInspector org site, and mouse over the CMI logo, it brings you to one of his other sites. It's all total bull****.

As to the CMI advisory board members stepping up, the real problem is that Mike has done absolutely nothing but try and figure out ways for his org to control the entire shooting match.

My money is still on CMI. The entry requirements are consistent. Mike has not been. He has solicitited opinions on this message board, ad nauseum, and all to no avail.

Gets his *** kicvked on one thread, and starts another.

It's a wait and see what he is doing at ASHI/CREIA this week. My guess is that he's still tryng to kiss soe ASHI hiney.

Why bother...

John,

Pretend I'm one....I'll talk to you...come-on...work with me......
