Arlington Heights, IL -- Dan Friedman, of American Home Service Co. in

the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASIU), the international professional

the goals and ideals of the profession as stated in the ASIR Code of Ethics.
Over a period of at least five years, the recipient must have rendered
contributions of time, talent, or expertise benefiting the society and the
general public whom ASIR serves.


Mr. Daniel Friedman, who has worked in the home inspection profession in the
Poughkeepsie area since 1978, was cited for his work in development of the ASHI
