What % of iNACHI members have been here over 5 yrs?

[RAY THOROMAN]

Got to thinking the other day, most iNACHI members seem newer around here, so what % of current membership has been here over 5 years?


Think iNACHI was birthed around 2002? So the max or oldest would be 8/9 year members?


My guess for 5+ year members would be about 10%.


Why do we have such a high turnover rate?

[Jeffrey R. Jonas]

I begin my 5th year with Nachi this January. Do we actually have a high turnover rate, or do the more senior members just stop visiting the Nachi MB? I know of many that are still members, but don't spend much time here anymore.

InterNACHI has an outrageously high renewal rate (low turnover). You would be hard pressed to find many ex-InterNACHI members who are still in the inspection business (who didn't leave due to reasons outside of InterNACHI's control, such as death, retirement, career change, illness, sale of business, etc). I believe that there are less than a couple dozen worldwide. Once an inspector joins InterNACHI, he/she usually stays throughout their inspection career.

I joined on 1/12/04. Close to Gary.

The 5 year pin was a nice award that I received last year.

My experience has been very positive.

Nick, Ben, Marcel, JP, Dominic to name a few have been a great help. There are many others that have taken the time to respond to my posts and I thank them for that.

Nick should be an investment adviser as well. I still kick myself for not getting into the gold when he posted many years ago.

Gerry Beaumont was also a big help to me, I was on the fence a few times and he listened to me when I would call him. I miss him!!

I already have me CEU's for 2011 thanks to Nachi.
