A message from the President:
THREE WEEKS IN BALTIMORE --
Our Chapter was well represented during the Code Change Hearings and ICC Annual
Business Meeting, both of which seemed to go on forever. The first set of code
change hearings began October 24 and ran for as much as 15 hours a day until
October 31. There was a break for the business meeting from November 1 until
November 4. The hearings began again with an overlapping day on Wednesday
November 4 and ran through November 11. We can be proud the dedication of our
Colorado Chapter members in that we were represented at every one of the 19 days
of important activities and decisions made that affects the 2012 I-Codes and the
way our jurisdictions and the private sectors will do business in the years
ahead.
Our stellar Code Change Committee, lead by Tom Meyers and Tim Pate,
helped fund 10 people to monitor, testify and represent chapter positions on
many important issues. We are further represented by 11 members on ICC Code
Change Committees, 5 of those serving as Chair! This is an amazing
accomplishment. Their volunteer service speaks loudly and proudly of the quality
the Chapter carries into the national and international arena of code
development. It also carries on the tradition begun in the ICBO days and made
part of a collective DNA passed on and kept alive by the likes of Pete Tyree,
Dan Nickle, Bob Foote, Jerry Wooldridge and Tom Thompson; to name but a few of
many.
At the Awards Luncheon during the ABM we received the Chapter of the
Year Award. This is an acknowledgement that from 630 ICC chapters we are the
best of the best. 14 chapter members attended to represent us during lunch.
Following is the press release from ICC:
The Colorado Chapter of the ICC was
named Chapter of the Year during today's Awards Luncheon. To earn this
designation, a chapter must demonstrate a high degree of professionalism in
promoting the vision, mission and goals of the Code Council. The Chapter of the
Year also distinguishes itself through the development and implementation of
programs designed to increase the professionalism of its members and code
officials everywhere, and participate in local, state, regional or national
activities to increase the public awareness of safety in the built
environment.
"The Colorado Chapter worked with the Colorado Governor's
Energy Office to develop a free International Energy Conservation Code training
program," Awards Committee Chairman Tim Ryan explained. "Its green efforts also
include an instrumental role in developing an online code forum with the U.S.
Department of Energy and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory."
The Colorado
Chapter offers disaster assessment evaluator training, and a train-the-trainer
program. When the most devastating tornado in Colorado's history struck on
Memorial Day weekend, Chapter volunteers assessed more than 1,000 damaged
structures and then worked with local officials to process more than
six-thousand repair permits.
"It took us 56 years to get here, so I accept
this for more than four and one half dozen past presidents, hundreds of Board
members, and at least 1,000 men and women on chapter committees that have served
over those past five decades," said Chapter President Stephen Kanipe. "As we all
know, the more involved individuals become, the greater the chance of success
for the larger group."
And finally, the 25th Year Colorado Chapter
Educational Institute brochure was available at all the hot spots for people to
pickup and make plans to attend the best opportunity available. Thanks to the
Education Committee for putting it all together, every year for 25 years in a
row! Looking forward to finishing out a wonderful year at our ABM in Colorado
Springs and to see you there.
Stephen Kanipe
