Objective of Mentoring • Gain skill toward performing superior home inspections • Answer needs of inspectors with different skill levels: • New professionals; taking the NHIE; going through report verification • Provide interaction for inspectors in all phases of their careers: • Entering profession; opening a business; improving business operations or the marketing of a business; selling a business

  4. ASHI Mentoring Program General Overview of Program Each individual must complete an application for participation, which will include listing the goals they want to achieve through mentoring. The application is then given to the Chapter Membership Committee or equivalent decision maker for review and assignment of a mentor. If there is not a compatible assignment then the individual can be referred to a national listing with goals of the individual and contact information stated. When a match is found the individual will be assigned to a mentor for a maximum time period of 6 months. The mentor and the individual can work and agree to a time frame unless a specific amount of time is required by the state. At the end of six months if the individual requires further mentoring another mentor will be assigned. The mentor will work with the individual towards the stated goals. If either party feels that the relationship is not working out, another mentor can be assigned. The mentor will regulate the time spent between the two. At no time is the mentor expected to share information they are not comfortable divulging, such as specific business practices, contacts, financial data, etc. In addition, it is expected that during the entire mentoring process the individual will be attending all Chapter monthly meetings, and training sessions that occur at various times throughout the year. Candidates will have the understood goal of becoming a candidate with ASHI Experience privileges and then a full member.
