A note regarding in-person vs online (Zoom) classes. As a non-profit, all volunteer organization striving to provide the very best education programs available in the state of Ohio, chapter leadership has decided to abandon the hybrid in-person/online classes. Technical complexity and the chapter’s core mission intent to foster camaraderie among inspectors were part of this difficult decision. Moving forward the chapter will attempt to offer a balance between in-person and online (Zoom) classes. There will be opportunities for on-line classes that allow us to have industry / subject matter expert speakers when the online education is beneficial to all.
