I am pleased to announce that we have formed the Pennsylvania Association of Certified Home Inspectors (PACHI) a InterNACHI state association.  PACHI is based in Harrisburg, PA (centrally located in PA).  I have volunteered to run this association until it takes off or until someone volunteers to take over.  I am modeling PACHI after what InterNACHI member Russell Spriggs is doing in CO.  Although I am not a PA resident, I have family, business interests, and InterNACHI Chapters to attend in PA , and so I feel confident that I can hold quarterly meetings.  We are trying to have our inagural meeting on January 18th in Harrisburg the day after I have to be at the Berks County, PA Chapter meeting but just W.PA Chapter meeting in Pittsburgh and just before I have to leave for FAPHI, (I'm a Director) Hernando County, (I'm a speaker) and InterNACHI's national convention (all in FL).  Our W. PA Chapter meeting (out of Pittsburgh) is trying to squeeze in between there.  Our goals are to market PA InterNACHI members (we are the largest association in PA with over 548 members in PA), incorporate our existing relationship with the PA Community Colleges into a more formal state home inspection license, build an ongoing relationship with the PA real estate industry (I was a PA REALTOR for years), develop greater options for continuing education in PA (I'll try to get ICC/InterNACHI to come to PA next), and finally strengthen our five PA chapters.  PACHI.org (PACHI's website) is currently under development.  PACHI will not charge membership dues (membership in InterNACHI is all that is required).  I have asked InterNACHI's President Joe Hagarty and InterNACHI's Webmaster Chris Morrell (both PA residents) to assist.  InterNACHI attorney Joe Ferry has volunteered to be PACHI's legal counsel.  Porter Valley Software President Lorne Steiner has offered to help the association.   InterNACHI will also be assisting.
