Legislative affairs
The Southern New England Chapter of ASHI has since its
inception monitored
carefully actions at the legislature in Hartford that
might affect the home
inspection profession. Representatives of our chapter
were deeply involved
with the drafting of the Home Inspector Licensing
legislation that was
implemented in 2001. One member of our chapter sits on
the Home Inspector
Licensing Board which is charged with implementing the
licensing law. We
have for many years retained the services of a
legislative and regulatory
monitor in Hartford to keep close tabs on the
legislature when it is in
session and the activities of the regulatory agencies.
The monitor keeps us
informed of any emerging issues so we can respond in a
timely manner. The ASHI chapters in Connecticut are the only home inspector
organizations in
this state that provide this service.

Membership
The Southern New England Chapter (SNEC) of ASHI is one
of the oldest and
most active of ASHI's local chapters. SNEC membership is
open to all ASHI Associates or Members who recognize the value of
belonging to a professional
organization and who are willing to contribute to the
chapter's success and
growth. SNEC members receive valuable technical and
business training and
earn credits toward ASHI membership (MRC's) and
Connecticut Home Inspector
licensing renewals by attending our monthly meetings.
Membership in the
chapter enables the "true professional" home inspector
to stay abreast of
changes and trends within the industry through these
monthly meetings, the
annual education conference, the Chapter newsletter and
web site. You can
attend up to three of our monthly meetings at no charge
to learn more about
the benefits of Chapter membership. Download our
Membership Application on
the right side bar and get started on your journey to
excellence. For more
membership information, please contact Paul Colasanto,
Membership Chairman,
at (860) 525-2727.
Education
Continuing education is an important part of ASHI
membership. An ASHI
inspector must obtain 20 MRC annually to maintain
membership status.
Attending a SNEC-ASHI meeting provides the inspector
with continuing
education and credits on important technical and legal
issues. With all the
new or emerging technology for home construction or
mechanical systems, the
inspector needs to incorporate that knowledge in their
home inspection
process. Legislative activity can impact the way you
conduct inspections
and business. We rely on our legislative consultant to
advise us of new
regulations or laws so that we may act as one voice on
behalf of our
members. Continuing education is a cornerstone of our
Chapter meetings and
we will strive to offer our members the best education
possible.
