Ohio Association of Plumbing Inspectors

You are visitor #

The formation of an organization was first discussed in 1957 by plumbing inspectors from the four health districts in the state of Ohio. The organization became incorporated on January 13, 1958. The first charter and founding members were Albert Zepnickel, Joseph Geissuhler, Robert A. Jennsesein, and John Forbes. There have been five secretaries since that time. They were John Forbes, Matt Wainio, Fred Walker, David Petrie and Mary Butler. The current secretary is Dale Williamson.

In the beginning, dues were $5.00 per year for active members, $10.00 for associate members with both having a $2.00 initiation fee. In November 2002, the board made the yearly dues for both active and associate members $35.00 a year. March 2007 the body voted to increase our yearly dues to $50.00.

We have had twenty-five (25) presidents of this organization. Some that are still around are Ralph Kitzmiller, Don Kral, Ron Neff, Chet Divito, Robert Diener, David Petrie, Raymond Sparks, Richard Hitt, Anthony Bontempo, Fred Walker, David Kaminski and Charles McNaught.
