Hi all,
I am sort of confused, there has been an email announcment
of a NH chapter and there has been nothing here.
Certainly, there are many posts of new chapters forming
and organizational meetings of such announced with great excitement.
Maybe it’s a secret!?
Carla
still wondering why there is no NH chapter
anouncement, with the first meeting being
this week?
Carla
Unless I get ALL the info in GREEN at the bottom of www.nachi.org/form.htm I don’t announce and I never announce intentions… only scheduled meetings. Also, any member can form a chapter.
Hi to all
Carla, this is your cue, you should start a New hampshire chapter, I know you have the respect and support of our New Hampshire members, I know many would be happy to assist you with this.
It is vital at this time when licensing is being discussed to have someone who is representative of our members to step up to the plate.
Regards
Gerry
Carla,
I never seen an announcement.
Where and when (this week)?
Maybe I’ll drive up to meet you and the others.

[FONT=Times New Roman]I have just gone through my e-mail log and see that I have sent you 23 different [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]e-mails to keeping you informed about our fight to defeat NEW HAMPSHIRE [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]House Bill 642. as well as keeping you informed of the formation of a NH chapter. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman] Henry Finzel, Marcus Hutnick and I have all tried to keep you up to date and have invited you to meet with us for our informal meetings of New Hampshire Based Home Inspectors. In all we estimate that you and all New Hampshire Based Home Inspectors that have bothered to respond have received somewhere from 80 to 120 e-mails on this subject. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman] I have sent Nick Gromicko, Aimee Jalowsky and Kay Drauer, many, many e-mails keeping them up to date on our struggle to defeat this poorly written, biased piece of legislation written by a Real Estate agent that had 4-5 ASHI inspectors as his “Advisors”. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]Our New Hampshire database of Home Inspectors includes several engineers, educators / teachers, Long Established Home Inspectors {Both ASHI & NACHI} as well as inspectors that are just starting out. We had NO OFFICIAL VOICE to defend us. We asked for volunteers to start up a NH NACHI Chapter. Two people said that they would. AFTER ONE ***VERY LONG MONTH ***NOTHING HAPPENED! [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]Look what it cost us! [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman] [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]Due to the lack of a NEW HAMPSHIRE BASED “Official Voice” for NACHI ALL NEW HAMPSHIRE BASED Home Inspectors are at risk of being out of business.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman] [/FONT]
***{NOTE; MANY NH BASED NACHI HOME INSPECTORS ENCOURAGED ME TO CONTINUE OUR EFFORTS TO DEFEAT THIS BILL. MANY ASKED WHY NACHI DID NOT HAVE A CHAPTER IN NH. Many asked me to start a chapter. I EXPLAINED THAT I DID NOT WANT TO “STEP OUT OF LINE” AND AT THIS TIME SINCE NACHI HAD NO OFFICIAL STATE CHAPTER I HAD BETTER ASK NICK FOR HIS ADVICE.} ***
[FONT=Arial]Carla, As to the formation of a NACHI Chapter. I am sending you ANOTHER** Copy **the letter that I sent to Nick and all NEW HAMPSHIRE BASED home inspectors that have responded to our many, many e-mails on this matter. [/FONT]
To Nick Gromicko Founder of The National Association of Certified Home Inspectors
Hi Nick!****
Last March {2005} I spoke before the New Hampshire Judicial Committee against this bill. I have been fighting against it ever since. Gerry Beaumont was present, and asked me to start a NH NACHI chapter. I explained that I thought it was a GREAT idea and that the New Hampshire based Home Inspectors certainly needed an “Official Voice” to fight for them but that I was a “Full Time” inspector and that there were not enough hours in the day for me to do this.
Since December 01, 2005 I have virtually “shut down” my inspection business so that I might devote all of my waking hours into stopping this bill. It has turned into a "Full Time, Non Paying Job" but I realize that I have a choice. I can lose a month’s wages, or I can have a life time of work, decades of specialized education and decades of expertise erased / nullified by this poorly written and probably illegal bill.
Naturally I bit the bullet and chose the short road to misery instead of the long road to financial ruin. It has been, and continues to be, a tough battle.
During all of this “net working” I have had several New Hampshire based inspectors ask me to start a NH NACHI chapter.
Sincerely, [FONT=‘Brush Script MT’]Frank Carrio [/FONT]
Nick responded with information as how to proceed with the formation of a New Hampshire of NACHI.
***ONCE AGAIN, I REITERATE THAT ******[FONT=Arial]I have sent Nick Gromicko, Aimee Jalowsky and Kay Drauer, many, many e-mails keeping them up to date on our struggle to defeat this poorly written, biased piece of legislation written by a Real Estate agent that had 4-5 ASHI inspectors as his so called “Advisors”.***[/FONT]

Dear Frank,
You have chosen not to post here and that is fine.(until this one)
You make mention of all of your emails, and you selectively
choose which ones you want people to read.Why don’t you
post the lovely emails here that you sent to Susan. (a north country
member) or the extra large font with red all through it (screaming)
that you sent to me. (now there’s a person to lead)
I have been posting here for 3 or more years and I don’t
need your lousey attitude brought here. This forum is for learning
and comraderie. I actually feel like I have made alot of friends here.
Every other chapter formed has anounced the formation here,
you did not, and still have not.
There are hundreds of people from all over the state working on this
bill. We just choose to conduct ourselfs in a more professional manner.
You are not the only voice in this state, Frank.
Get over yourself!
I for one would love to be a member of a chapter but not with you
at the helm.
In closing, we are in the NH leg. update thread, of which I volunteered
a year ago to update the members with NH legislation
The update is
A public hearing on Feb 14 10:00 room 306 at the Legislative office building
in Concord. Come and voice your opinions and watch the Frank show!
Thats my update for now
Carla:D
BTW,
sending emails to Nick about HB642 has absolutely nothing to
do with the formation of a NH Chapter which as I said before
was not posted and as Nick said unless it is for real he does
not announce intensions.

[FONT=Times New Roman]Hi To All![/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman] In regards to the forming of a New Hampshire Chapter of The National Association of Certified Home Inspectors NACHI, Here is why you have not seen any information on the NACHI website. We did not have 45-days to advertise the formation of this chapter.***[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman] [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]Right now there is a poorly written biased, and dangerous NEW HAMPSHIRE HOUSE BILL 642 that is a threat to all NEW HAMPSHIRE based Certified Home Inspectors. We are in danger of losing our LEGAL RIGHT to conduct home inspections [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]This is why after sending out more than 600-emails in a 45 day period and receiving many, many requests to form a chapter, I finally agreed to ask Nick Gromicko Founder of the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors for his advice and or recommendation as to whether he thought we should form a NACHI chapter for the purpose of speaking with an “Official Voice” instead of just “going it alone.” [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]PLEASE NOTE: I have been in touch with Nick. Aimee, and Kay. I and at least three other inspectors have “copied” our e-mails to ALL New Hampshire Certified and Uncertified Home Inspectors that bothered to respond. This has not been “a secret”. [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]We will be discussing NEW HAMPSHIRE House Bill 642. [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]OUR NEXT MEETING WILL BE SOME TIME THIS EARLY SPRING OR EARLY SUMMER. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]IT WILL BE ADVERTISED 60- TO 45 DAYS IN ADVANCE. WE WILL MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO HAVE IT POSTED ON THE NACHI NATIONAL WEBSITE. At the next meeting and all subsequent meetings we will discuss a broad range of issues, have technical speakers, door prizes, and everything else that you would expect at a typical NACHI meeting. ALL MEMBERS & NON-MEMBERS ARE INVITED AND WELCOME! [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]I am enclosing a small section from the NACHI website that contains rules and regulations as to the procedures as outlined by NACHI. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]In closing I add that WITH ALL DUE RESPECT the reason that I have not been on the Message Board web site is that I did not want to be distracted from fighting HB642. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]As it is, I have wasted more than 4.75 hours refuting false information. All this has done is to distract me from working against this bill and from paying attention to establishing an agenda for this meeting. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]We have a New Hampshire State Representative that has sent in her RSVP. ***[/FONT]
***[FONT=Arial]***[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]To have your chapter meeting advertised by US Mail and E-mail, contact us with the following details 45 days prior to the meeting date:[/FONT]
Carla,
I’ll go if you go?
Looks to me as though Carla was right. This Chapter meeting was never posted on this bb.
Chapter Coordinators, Presidents, Directors, or whatever should remember Chapters are independent of NACHI and all advertising of their individual events are their responsibility, not NACHI’s. NACHI has laid out procedures for those fortunate to have the 45 day cushion for advertising, whereby NACHI will assist in marketing your meeting.
It’s great that Frank sent emails, letters, (great post cards, if I remember) etc. But I have to agree with Carla that a bb entry should also have been done by Frank or his helpers. This bb is the most searched system in the Home Inspection Industry. What better advertising for your chapter than here.
I’m not sure how the NH Chapter is set up, but most welcome other association membership and those with no affiliation. This bb can go a long way in assisting you in reaching those inspectors.
Good Luck with your chapter. Move on.
Greetings to All!
[FONT=Times New Roman]Thank you for your advice.

[FONT=Times New Roman]Maybe I am wrong, but this is the sole reason that I do not visit this message board. [/FONT]

Chapter President
Greetings to all!
I am happy to announce that on the evening of February 01, 2006 The New Hampshire Chapter of The National Association of Certified Home Inspectors {NACHI} had its first meeting.
The meeting was held at The Yard Restaurant in Manchester New Hampshire. Even though Marcus Hutnick and I arrived an hour early we were both pleased to find that the meeting room had already been set up, and that it was clean, well laid out, and perfect for our needs.
The food and deserts were GREAT! There was enough for all of us to have seconds or thirds if we were so inclined. Congratulations, and gratitude go out to the Staff {John & Lorraine} and the management of The Yard, and especially to our own Marcus Hutnick for taking on the task of arranging all of this on such a short notice! WELL DONE!
The meeting started with the Pledge of Allegiance to our country’s Flag, which judging by the enthusiastic participation was heartfelt and sincere.
{Thanks go to Carla for the reminder.}
We had a diverse group of Certified Inspectors in attendance. Some were ASHI, some were certified by more than one association, some “independent”, and then of course the majority were certified by NACHI. The group consisted of several Engineers, one Code Compliance inspector, several long established and experienced home inspectors and some “new to the industry” Certified Home Inspectors.
The main topic of discussion was the poorly written, clearly biased, New Hampshire House Bill 642. It was apparent that this Bill was going to have a severe negative affect on all New Hampshire Based Home Inspectors, regardless of whether or not they were affiliated with ASHI, NACHI, ITA, or any other professional association.
I am proud to say that we had two very well respected and long term*** New Hampshire State Representatives***, [FONT=Algerian]Angeline Kopka, and Benjamin Baroody come to our first New Hampshire Chapter meeting and we had the pleasure of having them address the negative issues of this bill. [/FONT]
I can safely say that in their address to our membership they said that this bill appalled both of them. Both agreed HB642 was poorly written, not very well thought out, and that it would have a huge negative impact not only on New Hampshire’s Certified Home Inspectors but also on the entire Real Estate Industry of our small state.
At this meeting we took a survey and we all agreed that we were opposed to several issues and or omissions in House Bill 642. Here a just a few of the more obvious ones.
We all agreed that the list of gross omissions, the flagrant conflict of $$ interest $$ by the New Hampshire Licensed Real Estate Agent author of this bill and the lack of specificity was enough to have this bill thrown out.
Both New Hampshire State Representatives agreed. They will be at the E.D. & A. Committee’s Public Hearing on February 14, 2006 to voice their opposition to this bill.
In order to keep this newsletter brief I am not detailing every item of contention in this bill. If you do not have a copy and would like one E-mailed to you please let us know.

I explained to the Home Inspectors present at this, “The first Official New Hampshire NACHI Chapter meeting” that it has been a very long and hard road just to get a Chapter formed. I explained that Nick Gromicko Founder of The National Association of Certified Home Inspectors had appointed me as Chapter President. Without going into detail I also explained that there were at least two people who were upset that I was appointed as Chapter President.
At this point I asked if anyone present thought that I was “doing a bad job as Chapter President, and wanted me to step down to please let me know”. No one raised their hand or voiced any opposition. I then asked for volunteers to take over the position and office of the Chapter President and that we would vote on any and all nominations. No one volunteered.
Just to matters clear I asked for a vote of all who thought I was “doing a good job” and wanted me to stay as NH Chapter President. I was surprised to see that the vote was unanimous! We all consider the matter closed and settled. It is time to move on.
Then we voted on the Board of Directors, I am happy to announce the following;
New Hampshire Chapter Vice President: MARCUS HUTNICK****
New Hampshire Chapter Secretary: JOHN HASTINGS
New Hampshire Treasurer: Open & to be voted on at the next Chapter Meeting.
Many, many, thanks go out to all who attended. Your participation and Professionalism was, and still is GREATLY appreciated! All attendees will receive credit for one CEU.
The time and place of the Next chapter meeting will be announced 60 to 45 days in advance. We plan on having one every quarter and more if desired.
We will be offering technical workshops, and also have technical speakers. Future CEU’s will be based on the length of the workshop.
All meetings will be open to all certified home inspectors regardless of their association and or affiliations. Notice will posted on the NACHI national website and will be sent out in a 400-mile radius. All are welcome.
Once again, I thank each and every inspector who attended and my most heartfelt thanks and appreciation to State Representatives, [FONT=Algerian]Angeline Kopka and Benjamin Baroody for their staunch support in defeating New Hampshire House bill 642.[/FONT]

New Hampshire Chapter President
The National Association of Certified Home Inspectors. {February 2, 2006 1:53 PM}
Congrats on your position.
I volunteered a long time ago to be the NH legislative liason
and to report of the status of NH legislation of which I have continued
to do.
I have not indicated that I did not want to continue this task.
If you feel the need to take that over with your busy schedule
than you can do that.
I had volunteered to help my fellow members.
Its all yours.
I don’t appreciate your continued stabs at me and ask that
they stop.I declined attending the meeting for reasons that
I am sure are clear to everyone!
And by the way the Chapter posts should be posted under
the Chapter thread;)
