A word from your Chapter President | |
Chapter Members,
As Mid Year approaches there is much going on in the Chapter. May is just around the corner and we will be very busy with Building Safety Month.
Each Jurisdiction that has agreed to participate in the Residential Multi Jurisdictional Amnesty Program will be well under way during May.
As I mentioned a number of times now, I have given the membership a questioner, asking for your input with respect to all aspects of Chapter Business. I collected a number of these questioners at the last Chapter Meeting and have reviewed the responses.
There was much interest in increasing the amount of monies we grant in Scholarships in all forms, from the Toddler Swimming Lessons Grant Program, the ICC Technical Training Program and the College Scholarship Grant Program. There were also a large number of interests in more support to the Code Development process.
If you were not at the last Chapter Meeting and would like to give your input, please email me at
Your input counts so please participate.
Thank you
Valarie Loper
Valarie Loper and I will send you the questionnaire.
