Our Western States Director does the impossible... holds NACHI together across large spans of Western territory without the advantage of densely populated cities.

Thank you for the information, and no doubt that he does what you say. He is doing a great job, and I only wanted to hear what the title meant where it was used here in this thread:
I was interested because of the issue with someone else who was asked to take on a similar title by you, and who accepted only to be told that it was not a real position.
This led to some serious problems in the Illinois area and put a complete stop to the first recognized training for CEU Home Inspector renewals.
Aren't there others who can assume the State Director's duties in the other regions?

About a year or more after Bruce Kirby took on Western States Directorship (which was and continues to be a daunting volunteer position at NACHI), I believe the MAB/leadership decided to be more tight with State Directorship titles and instead suggested we use the title “Coordinator.”

Joe,
Have you been "tongue-testing" those hot busses, again? ![icon_lol.gif](upload://zEgbBCXRskkCTwEux7Bi20ZySza.gif)
Jim:
The first question was answered, now how about you answering the rest since you are so full of enthusiasm, and have lots of energy and time to research on behalf of NACHI.
2. Is there a Board of Director's Formed yet?
3. When will the NACHI Members see a Formal Annual Meeting Report, or where can the minutes of all meetings be read?

The Special Meetings are the ones to watch as these are called by our attorneys or accountants, typically because they need to take some action that requires formalities. The last one we had was on January 19th and my notes show that NACHI authorized our accountant to sign any documents required by the IRS to obtain 501(c)(3) status, which he successfully accomplished retroactively back to 1998:

Congrats, President Tedesco.
I hope your agenda includes putting the Massachusetts Licensing Board on notice that NACHI expects its training programs (and the procedure to have them approved) is handled no differently than ITA was. ![icon_wink.gif](upload://ssT9V5t45yjlgXqiFRXL04eXtqw.gif)

I hate to throw water on well burning fires, but the MAB rules for chapter operation that were sent to me and John Bowman, which we approved, state that only a Full Member of NACHI may be part of the leadership of a chapter.
Joe's participation in the currently operating chapter is more than welcome, however.
