NAHI operates within a national/chapter structure. It is through a supportive relationship between the national organization and its chapters that NAHI has become the national voice for the home inspection industry. The success of this partnership relies upon the strengths of both the national office and its chapters, combined with a willingness to collaborate and cooperate in areas of mutual interest. This interdependence exists not only between national and its chapters, but also among chapters.

The national organization and its chapters are united by a strong common vision. By making the most of our resources, each of us has much to gain from our partnership. Similarly, we each have much to lose should one of us fail to fulfill our obligations to each other. The essence of our partnership is the understanding that:

• Each partner understands its strengths, roles and responsibilities.
• All parties perform as members of a team in creating positive, productive relationships.
• All parties pursue NAHI goals with the highest standards of quality, integrity and professionalism. While the national organization tends to focus on industry-wide issues and programs to support all members, the jurisdiction of a chapter is in its local area. Chapters deliver programs close to home to their members and on topics that reflect the needs and interests of their particular members. Chapters can best respond quickly to localized concerns or problems, often with the assistance of the national office.

The rationale is to provide an expansive chapter network to provide convenient and accessible services with frequent contact among members, afford local representation of interests and concerns, affect local policies and regulations, and recruit members representing the majority of the industry.
