We now need to tune it up and create an actual committee to improve it. All work will be done in the members-only section in cyberspace so you won't have to catch any planes.
I will sit on this committee. I do not sit on any others to minimize NACHI hierarchy but I have some expertise with how the Standards of Practice document can be used in court by inspector/defendants.

Can you chair it? Our legal counsel is going to sit on this commitee as we are trying to integrate our inspector/client agreement in with the Standards of Practice. I'll be on it too. Need a few more folks willing to think about it all to be on this committee.
We have a good chance here of having a Standards of Practice, and Inspector/Client agreement, and language within our reports, all integrated together to help protect inspectors from claims. I want to then take the entire works to various insurance underwriters to get our membership discounts on E & O like I did here in PA.

Chairing it would be an honor that I would have to respectfully decline. Once my company gets past the magical five-years-in-business mark, I’ll be happy to take on more leadership functions. For now I’ll have to be a follower.

I found this old post of mine “over there” and just thought that it needed to be put in this Forum.

We could probably do more for the home inspection industry as a whole if home inspectors in general would step back from trying to be a specialist, a code enforcer, or an encyclopedia of knowledge concerning everything that we have to look at and truly remember that we are generalists. I know there's probably more than a few home inspectors who would probably disagree with me because I don't practice the specialization, over-education, and too-much-knowledge like they do. Yet I must be doing something right based on my four callbacks (peacefully resolved with no loss of income) in 19 months.
As I tell my Clients up front, "I am a generalist. I know something about everything and everything about nothing."
Except the Beatles. I know everything about them.

Russel,
I can say with some degree of certainty that I know nothing about everything and everything about nothing. I would like to keep it that way!
