NACHI and another national association make peace today with new agreement.

[Nick Gromicko]

Raymond... correct. I agreed to no longer call them scumbags. Actually, I had already stopped calling them scumbags on May 8th when they agreed to change their Code of Ethics to more closely match ours: http://www.nachi.org/lastholdout2007.htm

I would have loved to dump "home" but our experts felt that the "NACHI" brand was worth more to us than my desire to move away from being a mere home inspection association an toward an inspection (commercial, mold, thermal imaging, etc) association... and so had to be preserved.

"National" has a negative connotation in other countries and so this change repairs that problem.

Here it is in a nutshell:

International is BIGGER than National, and Certified is BETTER than not. We became bigger and better (relative to the other association) without losing our NACHI brand.

In return for becoming relatively bigger and better... we got some nuisance stuff cleaned up and out of our way, stuff that was hindering our growth.

Maybe...just maybe the whatchamaycallit group from Minnesota will go after ASHI next.

Nope, we still have freedom of speech.

That is interesting, on an individual basis I get along with most, but it appears that NAHI does attract more then their fair share of folks who believe that using legislation to limit their competition is a sound marketing ploy, at least that has been the case here in Florida. As long as NAHI is pro-licensing I will remain unwilling to engage them in any meaningful dialog which might serve to provide a platform for their agenda.
