From the President

At the foundation of building safety are the people. A skilled, knowledgeable and passionate workforce is what drives our industry and continues to keep our families and communities safe.

Since its inception, the International Code Council has been committed to the advancement of the building safety career. As science and technology continues to advance our industry into a digital space, the Code Council strives to serve as a foundation for the professional growth and success of building safety professionals worldwide.

This year, we continued to welcome the next generation of building safety professionals and improve projects
within the Safety 2.0 initiative. The development of the high school and college technical training programs, Chapter Leadership Academy, Military Families Career Path Program, and Emerging Leaders Membership Council has helped us deliver on our initiative focused on recruiting new Code Council members and building industry professionals. All of our Safety 2.0 programs remain critical to the success of the industry and association.

Our resilient future is dependent on the work we do today to cultivate a new wave of talented and dedicated safety professionals. Guided by the objectives set in the new Vision 2025 Strategic Plan, throughout 2020 and beyond, the Code Council will continue to advocate for the advancement of the building safety profession and community.
