Membership Dues Refund Policy
The ASHI Board of Directors approved a membership dues refund policy that applies to all new and renewing members who seek to cancel their membership and request a refund of their membership dues and associated fees. There are no membership dues or fee refunds except for multi-inspectors. Exceptions to this policy require approval by the Membership Director or the Executive Director.
Refund for members sponsored by multi-inspector companies before 90 days. When a multi-inspector company pays membership fees on behalf of a member, the company will only receive a refund if the company or the individual requests that their membership be canceled, and a refund issued. If the membership is not canceled before 90 days, there will be no refund. The member may renew their membership as an individual.
Refund Process: To request a refund, members must contact ASHI at membership@ashi.org. The request must include the following information:
- Full Name, address, and email
- Membership ID (if applicable)
- Reason for the refund request
- Relevant documentation (if required)
Review and Approval The ASHI Membership Department will review and process all refund requests within ten business days of receiving the request.
