It is so unfortunate that OAHI did not treat NACHI for their Conference
the same way NACHI treated OAHI for our conference .
From some of the information I have received it sounds like the OAHI Conference was not near as well attended as they hoped .
I am sure if they had of asked some of the NACHI Professional teachers might have helped them fill the classes.
Seems like many where disappointed with some of the instructors.
Sounds like they only got about 20% compaired to the NACHI Toronto
Conference .
Food for Thought
I wonder would it be a good idea to have a shared Conference next year at a more reasonable price then OAHI charged this year.
This way it would make more sense as Canada is so big all Home Inspectors could get a chance to gather much information and see all the suppliers .
Just my thoughts .

I don't know who feeds you your information, but the CAHPI Conference hosted by CAHPI Ontario was a huge success, actually better than expected. The Gala Dinner was sold out even before the weekend and most education sessions were full. In fact, it was standing room only in a few of them.

The surroundings at Blue Mountain made for a very enjoyable few days. It was well worth the money. I did not hear one person complain about the cost once I was there.

I don't often congratulate CAHPI Ontario, but in this event the volunteers created a smashing success.

Glad to hear your openion Thanks, To bad you did give us a report .

Obviously you did not talk to the same people I did .

Well thers two bits of information that differ some what.

Off course most OAHI members do not say much as they have seen what happens to those who dare to speak out.

I was told it was to damed expensive , When we see what other conferences cost I think they could be correct , of course the lack of allowing NACHI to attend is unfortunate .
Thanks to Bill for tying to make this happen.
I am sure he did his best.

Hi Roy:

I didn't have to talk to anyone about the conference.........I was there all the time, and it was much better than I predicted. As late as last week I admit I suspected it would be a flop, but they proved me wrong.

Members really aren't afraid to speak out all that much. There was lots of complaining about association matters, but nothing much against the conference.

I can truly say that I did indeed try to have NACHI recognized in a few ways before the conference. Unfortunately, I am but one voice.

Thanks for the effort you put forth on having NACHI at the Conference .
I am sure if OAHI had of followed their own rules it could of had a lot more attend the Conference .
Unfortunately you have told us how great the NCA is doing but never give true figures only your openion .
This again is just you saying how great the attendance was .
Well others did not see it like you do.
I understand a very large % did not pay to get in , of course you know no outsider is privileged to any facts or figures.
We can only go by what you and others have seen.
We both Know OAHI has not given out true information for many years.

It doesn't matter a bit whether or not you believe me, Roy. I know the truth and spoke the truth.

Can't anything be said without you trying to make an issue of it?

Thanks Bill I do not see where I said you did not tell the truth .
All I said was You and OAHI just do not give out the Facts you have evaded the NCA Facts from the get go and still do .
When You get asked a question you immediately attack.
We all know this is Bills way of evading ,accuse the other person of wrong doing .
If this upsets you then too bad it is you who refuses to give information .

...Cookie ...a very Happy satisfed NACHI member

[Nick Gromicko]

We were there in a big way, I'm just not at liberty to explain how. It was a very good event for us. Great food, nice black-tie event (a first for the industry I think). My compliments to all who worked to put it together, I know how hard it is to do.

Very Interesting .... Cookie

Actually for the record - I wore a gray and black tie to A"word" Banquet. Sort of a mixed feeling venue! Even got to sit the the CMHC reps.

[rcooke]

When ever NACHI has a conference it seems many suppliers attendees and staff take pictures .
They seem to filter out from many directions and much information with the posts .
We are in the Digital age and instant information arrives all the time .
I wonder why no information come from CAHPI/OAHI.
NACHI members seem to wish to share there enjoyment and knowledge with all.
What a great group of people at NACHI.

.

I wonder why OAHI had so many booth at the conference .
They did not seem to have any one attending them to tell those attending the conference what the future is to be with OAHI.
250 attended but it seems that many free admisions where given out .
Interesting as time goes on information continues to filter out..

Gee Bill I like your statement do you mind if I use it too.
