NACHI Tv Not Approved?

No. NACHI.TV provides a media conduit to have the education that NACHI produces videocast on the web. NACHI provides the education. Some of it is free (the NACHI.TV part) and some of it is charged for (the NACHI produced part). Clear?

Your use of the word "claims" shows your innuendo.

...which I gain from Chris's explanation, this is nothing but typical Gromicko hyperbole. If I understand Chris, NACHI Tv supplies technical support to NACHI who provides the education.

Right. Why is this "hyperbole"? It is true.

But NACHI is not for profit. The money it charges for the videos goes where, if not to NACHI or NACHI Tv?

To NACHI. Just because a not-for-profit takes in money does not mean that it is "profit".

Our Chapter, a registered 501(c)(6) takes in money and charges for CE courses. But, the chapter does not make a "profit". They money goes to the Chapter and is used for Chapter activities.

I have taught many of our Chapter courses and have never recieved a dime in "profit". Likewise, no officer of member of our Chapter takes any pay for what we do. Simple. Not-for-profit. No one "profits".

As I stated before, we have accountants and a lawyer to make sure we comply with the law. NOT to giggle the books and make it LOOK like we make no profit, but to verify, to the IRS that we comply with the law.

And who owns Reports, Inc.?

As to some of the other posts, now you can see that there is a big difference between asking a question and being questioning.

To ask a question is to admit that you don't know the answer and to seek information, and to being open to recieving it.

To be "questioning" is to believe that you already know the answer and you ask anyway in an attempt to besmirch the answer that you expect to recieve, usually in an attempt to "expose" something that you think is wrong or that you just don't like. This is a tack that is called, in psychological circles, "passive-aggressive", i.e., try to appear innocent while believing that you are smarter than the room.

I submit that Jim's intention is the latter. Jim is just trying to slam Nick and imply that there is something illegal going on. As to why, you have to ask him.

But, I will leave it to the membership to decide.

Hope this helps;

I always say the proofs in the puddin'. Many pitched in including sponsors, advertisers, and guests (I almost forgot about them) and some how, some way, we did it! We did it! The inspection industry has its own TV show, most episodes are free, everyone can watch it from anywhere, any time. Wow!

Everyone should be proud.

Now let's go do the next big project.

[Chris Morrell, CTO]

Can you believe that we're up to 50 episodes? I can remember not too long ago when our office had a note on it saying, "Nick, do not enter without video." Now we should have a note saying, "Nick, slow down with the video."

James appears to be traveling down the road once traveld by Joe Burkeson. In the beginning he is the ultimate defender of NACHI, right wrong or indifferent. This earned him the highly coveted moniker of Captain Nachi. Now, evidently, a NACHI burr has worked it's way into his "taint". I suspect, as with Joe, he may circle around again.

James, I recommend that you call Joe if you haven't already done so. He knows what the future holds for you.

NACHI is just fine....it's the carpetbagging opportunists presently in control of it that have my dander up.

However Jim, you have to remember the "carpetbagging opportunists" have been around for a very long time and I hate to say I told you so, but, remember several people telling you that NACHI is a good organization if you remember that it is first a marketing organization.

Nothing wrong with that but there is also nothing wrong with challenging the status quo in hopes of making InterACHI even better.

A few members complain when we release an espisode on reporting software (they call them infomercials) or announce a discount on reporting software. But then we discover that the complainers already have software. The member about to buy reporting software watches the software episodes twice and pockets the discount we procured for him/her.

A few members complain when we release an espisode on insurance (they call them infomercials) or announce a discount on insurance. But then we discover that the complainers live in states that don't require it. The member who lives in a state that requires insurance watches the episodes twice and pockets the discount we procured for him/her.

A few members complain when we release an espisode on marketing (they call them infomercials) or reveal tips on search engine optimization. But then we discover that the complainers don't even have their own websites. The member who is ranked on page 39 of Google and needs SEO advice watches the episodes twice and then improves his site's SEO.

A few members complain when we release an espisode on log or strawbale homes (they call them infomercials) or reveal tips on inspecting alternative construction. But then we discover that the complainers don't work in markets with such homes. The member who has a log home inspection scheduled next week watches the episodes twice.

A few members complain when we release an espisode on meth labs (they call them infomercials) or reveal tips on inspecting homes that may have been used as meth labs. But then we discover that the complainers never had a request for a meth inspection. The member who has a meth lab bust article on the front page of his hometown newspaper watches the episodes twice.

A few members complain when we release an espisode on video inspections of drain pipes (they call them infomercials) or reveal tips on how to offer the service for an additional fee. But then we discover that the complainers don't offer any ancillary services. The member who is considering adding this service to his/her list of inspection services watches the episodes twice.

.... you get the point I'm making.

Jim's just upset that he hasn't (yet) figured out a way to become a carpetbagger.
