President
Insight Home Inspection, LLC
Madison, AL
The number one issue for ASHI is leadership in the inspection profession. In order to remain the industry leader, we need to examine our membership structure and determine if a restructuring is needed to adapt for our changing environment. For this profession to thrive, we must have competent and qualified inspectors joining our ranks as older members retire and move on to other endeavors.
The number two issue is development of a public image that further engages the public. We have had great success with the message that ASHI Certified Inspectors can help consumers protect their financial assets through greater understanding of the condition of the home they are buying or selling. An equally compelling message and one of interest to the public is home safety. There is no doubt that home inspections save lives, and it is equally true that properly documented home safety concerns can get the attention of the media.
