– The chapter would also like to send our condolences to the family of Jay Ponce, as he passed away last month. Jay was a huge asset to the chapter and the special inspection industry. For many years, Jay taught special inspection classes for us and was one of WABO’s only special inspection consultants. There will be a Celebration of Life for Jay in early February. Please reach out to us if you would like more information.
