A word from your Chapter President

 

Membership,

 

I want to thank everyone who took the time to fill out the questionnaire, we provided to the Membership.

 

With the information provided there have been a number of changes made.  We have increased the budget in a number of line items including Grants and Code Development, and we also revised the SNICC Bylaws to reflect your choices.

 

The budget meeting of the Executive Board was held at Mike Teemant's house on Saturday August 3rd. The final budget will be brought to the membership for a vote at the next Chapter Meeting.

 

The proposed changes to the bylaws have been posted to the website and will also be voted in at the next Chapter Meeting.

 

The year end is nearing and Board positions will be available. If you are interested in Board service, and speaking up for the Chapter please contact any Board member for more information.  Our own Don White will be retiring this year and the need for a willing and skilled Secretary/ Treasurer is approaching. Please talk to myself or Don if you know of someone who may be a good candidate for this position.

 

The Annual Business Meeting is coming soon and a number of our local membership will attend to represent SNICC and code development as a whole.

 

Thank you for allowing me to be of service.

 

   

Valarie Loper

The International Code Council Board of Directors is pleased to announce that Dominic Sims, CBO, has been appointed to the position of Chief Executive Officer. Sims, who previously held positions as interim CEO and Chief Operating Officer, continues to serve with the full support and confidence of the ICC Board.
"Dominic's strong business acumen and commitment to accountability are complemented by a unique combination of ICC knowledge and experience, and a sincere affinity for our Members," said Ronald Piester, President of the ICC Board of Directors. "This is an historic moment for the Code Council. I call on our Members, Partners and Staff to join the Board in support of Dominic as we begin ICC's second decade. The future is bright, and our success will be ensured by moving forward together."
"The ICC is an exceptional association and I have always been proud to be a part of a group of professionals that hold public safety in such high regard," Sims said. "Code Council Members represent the highest standard of building safety and fire prevention professionals, and ICC serves as a powerful tool to help them help their communities, clients, and their careers."

Attention SNICC Chapter Members,

The end of the year is rapidly approaching, and it is time for to think... 

 

"What can I do for my Chapter?"

 

The Board positions coming available for 2014 are 2nd Vice President, and Secretary/ Treasurer.  The position of Secretary/ Treasurer will need some training and Don White would like to spend a few months in the transition.

 

Additionally, one Industry Representative position will be available.  This position is selected by the new Board.  

 

If you are interested in serving on the Board of Directors, please contact Valarie Loper, Chapter President or Doug Evans, Chair of the Nominating Committee.
