NYS Educational Conference

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 drmerrel@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!

Until approved by NY State, we will not list courses, dates, times or even pricing. Once approved, we will publish all the necessary information. We have been told, at the present time the state is looking towards 20 hours of continuing education to be completed before each renewal. This is subject to NY State’s final determination. We are in a holding pattern awaiting the state.

I would recommend everyone interested in this post, read the post in the Educational Section, which has and is updated with a great deal of information and discussion. Lively discussion is always benefitial to the membership, and if we can get this educational conference off the ground, offering 6 seminars at a pricetag of around $ 300 for all 6- 4 hour seminars, then everyone wins!

Again, everything is pending NYS approvals!

We have made significant progress over the past several weeks! I will be announcing the official schedule when NYS approves each of my seminars!
