Everyone has their own opinion as to which orginization is the best or worst and it really depends on the person and how you feel. I personally do not belong to any orginization. I inspect according to the standards of the State of Indiana Home Inspectors Licensing Board, which are based on the ASHI SOP and continuing ed is a requirement for licensing renewal.
In the days of the past, I think that the biggest incentive for joining an orginization is to be able to state that you inspections are performed according to the XXXX standards and attend at least XX hours of continuing ed per year. In my personal opinion, if your inspections do not greatly exceed what the standards state as acceptible performance on the inspectors part, you have no business inspecting homes.
I have considered joining an orginization or 2 so that I will be accessible through their web site, but so far haven't bit the bullet yet.
