New York State Education Conference

[Bill C. Merrell, CMI]

The New York Metro Chapter, in conjunction with the Long Island Chapter, as well as several other regional associations will be offering a 3 day conference/ program in March for Home Inspectors to meet their continuing Education requirements in NY State. This will be an approved continuing education program, with multiple vendors as well to benefit the membership of NACHI. By including sponsor vendors, we can reduce the fees for classes as well and expose New York Inspectors to those vendors who wish to offer programs to benefit the inspection trade.

Our final information will be available on or before December 15th, 2006, and the programs will be strategically located in Hauppauge, NY- with our tentative location being the Hyatt Windwatch 4 star Hotel, which offers a full service health club, thousand of square feet of meeting space, an 18 hole golf course as well as easy access via the Long Island Expressway. Many will stay at the hotel, others wil commute. Both is acceptable.

watch for more details once we finalize the classes and sign the contracts. We will limit the vendor booths to 25, which will be accessible throughout the entire conference.

3 days to meet your ce credit and network with fellow Home Inspectors throughout New York State.

Open to all NACHI Members at a reduced fee schedule which will include all programs, materials and conference events.

For further information, contact (after 12-15-06) Len Ungar at allaround@optonline.net or Bill Merrell at drmerrell@optonline.net

Much luck and success! We plan on making this event exciting, state approved and affordable to make it the event of the year for New Yorkers!

TO BENEFIT THOSE WHO WERE CONFUSED BY THIS POSTING, WE WILL NOT LIST THE DATES, TIMES, COURSE TOPICS, NOR PRICING UNTIL EACH AND EVERY COURSE WE WILL OFFER IS APPROVED BY NY STATE. We successfully did the same thing last year for those who needed licensing courses, and did not take 1 dime until the classes were approved (all 140 hours). We announced our intention of offering that program well in advance to let NACHI members know what was going on! We are doing the same with this proposed program, subject to NYS approval.

We Will Have A Fully Functioning Web Site, Dedicated To This Event Exclusively Once Nys Approves All Of Our Home Inspection Continuing Education Seminars.

More To Follow.......

Once NYS gives us the green light, we will issue specifics for dates, times, pricing, etc.- More later!

Bill, what are you, NUTS !!!! Have you seen the Weather Chanel lately ?

March, it's all about snowboards and skiing !!!

You ever try looking for that white ball in three foot drifts !!!!!

What you should try to do is to see if they can put a gondola from the hotel to the highway !!!

THAT, my friend would be cool !!!

[Bill C. Merrell, CMI]

They open the golf course in March each year, however if there are snow drifts, I am sure that the golf is not an option.

Hope to see you for NYS Home Inspection CE at the conference-
