ICC Mourns Loss of Croshaw

Croshaw

It is with deep regret that we announce the passing of Kevin Croshaw, Chief Building Official for the City of Logan, Utah.
Kevin was Past President of ICC's Utah Chapter. He worked as a contractor and construction manager before joining the city as construction crew chief for the Parks and Recreation Department in 1989. Later that year, he secured a job as inspector for the building department and became its head six years later.
Kevin received the Jess Miller Award from the Utah Chapter, the equivalent to a lifetime achievement award, which is the highest honor bestowed by the chapter.

Be a Part of the Process
To hear members' comments on the issue of ICC's governance structures, the Governance Review Ad Hoc Committee (GRC) hosted an open-forum teleconference on June 14. The work of the GRC is important to how ICC will be governed. You can view the interim report or hear audio of the teleconference.
