Welcome to the Chesapeake Chapter of NACHI for 2008!
NEXT CHAPTER MEETING
Tuesday, May 20, 2008
6:00 - 9:00 PM
Agenda:
Our Chapter President Gene Swier will be kicking off the meeting in his usual casual manner at Snyder's Willow Grove Restaurant (841 Hammonds Ferry Rd. in Linthicum, Maryland). As all of you know that have attended one of our Chapter meetings, it is a casual business atmostphere where you get to socialize with other Home Inspectors and hear the good, the bad, and the ugly of home inspection. You also get to share your experiences and ask questions in a no-stress, non-judgemental enviroment. If it is about home inspection, it is on the table for discussion.
There is no charge to attend this meeting, as all our meetings are open to everyone that has an interest in the Home Inspection industry. You do not have to be a Chapter member and you do not have to be a member of NACHI. Please come and join us to learn and share with like minded folks. Please register on line or call 410-626-7308 if you plan on attending the meeting. This will give us an idea of the head count so that we can let Snyder's know how many folks to expect.
Food and drink is available for purchase and you will only be responsible for what you order, if you care to order. (The food is very good !)

Since our first meeting, the Chesapeake Chapter continues to meet in Linthicum, only now at the popular venue of Snyder’s Willow Grove Restaurant on N.
Hammond
’s Ferry Rd. Meetings were decided best to be held monthly to give everyone a chance to participate. Although Thursday was a preferred meeting date, a conflict resulted in changing the day to the third Tuesday.
All of our meetings focus on sharing information and education for the Home Inspector community. Some of these have included presentations on performing Home Energy Efficiency Surveys, Home Inspector Awareness of Important Safety Issues, Radon Mitigation & System Installation, What the Inspector Should Know, Indoor Air Quality and Beyond Mold and Radon.
A popular feature this year has been the "Defects Recognition" contest, in which attendees vie to be first to identify home defects presented in a slide show. Points are awarded for each defect correctly noted, and some pictures have multiple defects. The person with the most points at the end of the night receives a prize, plus points are accumulated towards a grand prize to be awarded at the end of the year. Competition is fierce, close and FUN!
