Government Officials at InterNACHI's 2006 Convention
I am pleased to announce that two large and important government organizations
have requested and been granted access and attendence to our National Convention
this year.
First, Mr. Mick Zelaska from the Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
will be with us on Monday and Tuesday to explain and promote the HUD inspection
programs. The Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) within the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is currently recruiting qualified contract
inspectors to inspect over 25,000 HUD-assisted properties annually, in all 50
states and territories, including Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and
the Marianas Islands to ensure properly maintained, safe and sanitary housing.
Anybody interested in partaking of these programs should visit with Mr. Zelaska,
he will be in the InterNACHI booth in the exhibit hall.
Secondly, Gail Pouchet-Melvin, Environmental Specialist, Radon and Indoor Air
Quality, Bureau of Community Environmental Health FL Department of Health will
be on site from Sunday through the end of the session. She will be administering
the State Radon Proctured test. Any question regarding Florida licensing laws
should be directed to her. She will have literature and handouts.
Both of these governmental offices have expressed great appreciation to InterNACHI
for allowing them to be present at this event and both are looking forward to
an on going relationship with InterNACHI and our inspectors. I am asking all attendees
to seek them out and give them a warm InterNACHI welcome.
