CREIA will provide discounts to conference registration for those who contribute to the CCHI

How does the CCHI work?
Everyone who contributes to CCHI is a member. CCHI is governed by a steering committee with representatives from all association chapters. The steering committee elects chairmen who are authorized to speak for the coalition. CCHI retains a lobbyist, who receives direction from the chairmen. CCHI meetings typically take place at the semi-annual conferences of CREIA, and at other times as necessary.

How does CCHI interact with the legislature?
CCHI retains a lobbyist who is known throughout the capitol as our representative. Our lobbyist monitors legislation affecting home inspectors, and legislators know to contact our lobbyist whenever they want to raise an issue or initiate inspector legislation. In sessions when a bill would directly affect inspectors, our lobbyist appears at committee hearings, works with legislators, and advises the CCHI. In 4 of the last 5 legislative sessions, bills directly affecting inspectors have been introduced.

As an inspector, what can you do to help your profession?
Communicate with your CCHI Representative. They should keep your chapter apprised of legislative developments, and they should seek your input. Let them know what you want. Be constructive – if you don’t like something, offer a solution. Support the CCHI with a financial contribution. Representation is expensive. Failing to be represented is more expensive. When called upon, you may be asked to write letters to the legislature and governor.
