Membership Councils and Committees

Volunteers are one of the most important assets of the International Code Council. Their work on the Code Council Board of Directors, committees and councils is directly related to the success of the association. It takes the time and expertise of many individuals working through numerous councils and committees to shape it into the world-class membership organization that exists today.

Share your expertise and make sure your voice is heard by participating in the following councils and committees.

Membership Councils

Come together with your fellow members to shape the future of your association, industry and career. When you join a discipline-specific Membership Council, you can take your membership and profession to the next level by attending monthly or bi-monthly meetings where you can:

  • learn from colleagues in your field
  • share your ideas with others
  • stay informed on the latest trade topics
