The International Code Council (ICC) is now accepting nominations for the ICC Awards, which will be presented at the 2010 ICC Annual Conference on October 25–28 in Charlotte, NC. Nominations must be received by June 15.

 

ICC Awards will be presented in five categories to honor individuals and organizations for their accomplishments and service to ICC and the building safety industry. Awards include the ICC Fire Service Award and the ICC Community Service Award. The Fire Service Award is given to a member of ICC whose service, professional abilities, and leadership have been exemplary in the development of the ICC fire code and have served as an example to all fire prevention and fire protection professionals. The Community Service Award is presented when circumstances warrant a need to recognize meritorious service by an individual, organization, jurisdiction, or community group that promotes the public health, safety, and welfare by initiating activities or actions which are considered to be above and beyond the normal expectations.

The ICC, a membership association dedicated to building safety, fire prevention and energy efficiency, develops the codes used to construct residential and commercial buildings, including homes and schools. Most U.S. cities, counties, and states choose the International Codes, building safety codes developed by the ICC. The International Codes also serve as the basis for construction of federal properties around the world, and as a reference for many nations outside the United States.
