Complaints Committee

Education Committee

Work Groups

Often during the year, the Board will establish a work group or task force to work on a particular project or task that may not be covered by an established committee. If members volunteer to serve in a work group, they may be chosen to serve at any point during the year.

Member Relations Committee

The Member Relations Committee (MRC) works together as a whole or in subcommittees to develop or provide benefits to ASHI Members in terms of Membership, Chapter Relations, and Legislative Relations. This diverse group of ASHI Members represents home inspector members with a lot of experience, members new to home inspection, and chapter members.

The MRC consists of three subcommittees, each with a designated chair: Membership, Chapter Relations, and Legislative.

All members of the MRC discuss the proposed new concepts before they designate a subcommittee to concentrate on developing the idea. Once a proposed concept is assigned to a subcommittee, that team goes to work. Ideas to increase the value of ASHI membership may be presented to this group from various sources: the general membership, the ASHI Board, ASHI staff, or from within the MRC itself.

Committee & Task Force Members

Basic Function: Attends all meetings of the committee, prepares committee assignments, and works toward the fulfillment of the committee objectives.

Specific Responsibilities:

1. Attends all meetings of the committee.
2. Carries out individual assignments that are made by the committee chair.
3. Reviews all relevant material prior to the committee meetings. Prepares to make contributions and voice objective opinions concerning the committee issues.

The success of the committee depends on the contributions made by each member of the committee.

All volunteer submissions are pooled before committee assignments are made. While ASHI will do everything possible to honor a volunteer’s committee choices, the total number of volunteers is the determining factor. If a volunteer is selected to serve on a committee, they will be notified of their committee appointment by early February each year.
