The MAC-ASHI Chapter rewards success by reimbursing Candidates $100 when they pass the National Home Inspector Examination (NHIE). Pictured are three proud recipients (l. to r.): Bill Walker, Claxton Walker & Assoc., Bethesda, Md.; Jeff Adler, The Building Inspector of America, Silver Spring, Md.; and Scott Maury, Claxton Walker & Assoc., Elkridge, Md.
Several of MAC-ASHI’s leaders set an example for the Candidates by taking and passing the NHIE even though they achieved Member status before this exam was required. The successful exam-takers include Chapter President John Vaughn, John Vaughn, At Home Inspections, Inc., Monrovia, Md.; Chapter Immediate past president Dan Blum, Daniel Blum Integrity Home Inspection Services, Inc., Washington, D.C.; and Chapter Past Presidents Skip Walker, Claxton Walker & Associates, Washington, D.C., and JD Grewell, J.D.
