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

The Membership Councils offer Code Council members a place to come together to shape their association, industry, career, and future. Discipline-specific Membership Councils take your membership and profession to the next level by providing an opportunity to share your experience and expertise with your peers.

Each Membership Council includes a Governing Committee in general charge of affairs of their respective Council. In addition, the Membership Council Steering Committee, comprised of the Chairs and Vice Chairs of each Governing Committee, oversees the Membership Councils to ensure coordination of Council activities and minimize duplication of effort.

Membership Councils offer a prime opportunity to engage as a Code Council member. For more information on a Council or upcoming Council meetings, members may visit the online Member Community (myICC login required).
