People Helping People Build a Safer WorldTM3 Dear Code Council Members, It has been a great privilege to interact with so many of you and to celebrate the outstanding accomplishments of you, our members, and the International Code Council in the past year. Your Board continues to be focused on making sure the organization is financially sound as it pursues its goals of code development, professional enhancement and informing our communities regarding the best approaches to building safety and sustainability. After my election last year as President of the Board, I asked several Board members to join with industry in a new Code Development Review Ad Hoc Committee (CDRAC). The CDRAC serves as an important forum to review and propose the next steps to make sure we continue to offer a process that is fair and inclusive. We also moved forward to select a Sustainable Building Technology Committee to develop Public Version 1.0 of the International Green Construction Code, with thousands of downloads and hundreds of public endorsements from individuals and organizations. We have hosted Public Comment Hearings and will issue Public Version 2.0 in November. We also focused on the best use of Board committees, streamlining our structure where it made sense and acknowledging the appropriate level of focus we can bring to the many issues challenging us. I have enjoyed establishing relationships with my counterparts at some of our sister organizations. These enhanced relationships are, and will continue to, yield increasing benefits during these stressful economic times. Throughout the year, the concerns created by our economy, quickly evolving technology, and public policy in the United States and around the globe have created important and enlightening discussions. Our membership continues to re-evaluate its major roles, including our place in the arena of sustainability. Our reliance on multi-disciplinary approaches to address budget shortfalls has revealed creative solutions. Our codes continue to resonate across the United States and globally with new adoptions and new partners in the effort to build a safer and more sustainable world. I am indebted to my family and my colleagues in Clark County, Nevada, along with the Board, the membership and our superlative Code Council staff, for this year of significant progress. It has been an honor to serve you, one that I will always treasure and one that I will never forget.
Best wishes,
Ronald L. Lynn

### L ETTER FR O M THE boa r d PRE SID E N T4 Dear Code Council Members: This has been a full year for the Code Council, even as our stakeholders continue to address the challenges of the current economy. Through the commitment of our members and customers, and the hard work of our staff, our finances have held steady. We have continued to introduce innovations, improvements and initiatives. Our organization has gained new respect with elected officials, national organizations and the global community. Our future remains bright because our mission is clear. An idea to provide a regulatory framework for green construction has mushroomed into two Public Versions of the International Green Construction Code , with thousands of people engaged in our process and reading our information. The interest in the IGCC has spawned a new audience through social media including Twitter and Facebook, and set records for webcast viewing. It has opened new doors in the halls of Congress, State Capitols, and with other membership associations and public interest groups. It has raised our profile. We have continued to see code adoptions progress, along with federal legislation and programs referencing our codes and the need for professional development to ensure their enforcement. The interest in our codes continues to grow outside the United States, with these new clients strengthening our ability to provide services at home and globally. Our interest in communicating with you, listening as well as sharing, also has intensified. I have gained an enormous amount of new information, as well as new friends, from chapter visits and feedback from our new communications efforts. We also are addressing shortfalls in areas such as our website, and conducting surveys to get your feedback on strategic planning, code development and training. As you will read in these pages, our staff has a great passion for their work and derive satisfaction from the feedback of our members and customers. Our leadership team includes new talent with expertise in finance, information technology, evaluation service, and education and certification. I’m confident that the focus we bring to these and other areas will continue to result in greater efficiency, quality and effectiveness for our stakeholders and for the Code Council. While the work never ends, the achievements are many. Thanks for being part of our success.
Sincerely,

Richard P. Weiland

Richa r d P. Weiland Chief Executive Officer International Code Council 

### LE TT E R FROM T HE c hie f e xecu t iv e off ic e r5 Dear Code Council Members, It is often said necessity is the mother of invention. Reengineering ICC in 2009 was a necessity; the resulting invention has been a renewed and re-energized organization. With new members on our team and the International Green Construction Code (IGCC) well underway, ICC is focused on providing relevant information and cutting-edge resources to support you in effectively and efficiently managing in our new economic reality. The ICC team is committed to financial stability. Our objective is to provide the resources required to accomplish our shared mission of safety throughout the years to come. Your continued participation and support, along with ICC’s commitment to service, will ensure that building safety will remain our top priority for this generation and the next. To that end, ICC is investing in programs to strengthen our most valuable services and our financial base. Some of these include: Training. We will expand online training including online certification practice exams, new full-featured, online classes and revamped webinars to provide quality, affordable options. Code Development. In addition to continuing development and support of the family of codes and the new IGCC, several water irrigation system standards are in process as is a new comprehensive swimming pool code.
Certification. New contractor and trade exam offerings now are available in several states and jurisdictions in addition to a new national certification, all providing avenues for advancement in your chosen career

. Technology. Ongoing advances on our website and to our infrastructure have been implemented to provide you with relevant, on-demand information and services. New security safeguards were established after a malicious breach of security shut down access for a week to ICC’s website, staff email and telephones during September. Our internal review concluded that, due to existing policies regarding protection of member and customer data, information remained secure as we addressed the cause. We will continue to focus on protecting the Code Council’s networks and providing a safe, useable and convenient experience for users of our systems. We also are expanding our social networking to provide opportunities for you to meet colleagues, and find solutions for both enforcement and economic challenges.
Foundation. The Code of Honor scholarships offered this year provided voting members a way to participate in the code development process during these difficult economic times. Our thanks go to the chapters that matched funds to provide these scholarships.
Financial Services. A comprehensive financial services system upgrade is underway. The new system will ultimately improve decision-making tools and have a positive impact on both customer service and the bottom line. While strengthening these areas we continue to offer exclusive benefits to our members such as on-demand code interpretations and discounts on products and services. Although the economic climate in 2010 and into next year remains uncertain, the mission of the ICC remains clear. Our strategic plan update, “Blueprint to 2015,” is focused on planning for the challenges ahead so we can continue to help you build a safer world. I thank each of you for supporting the critical mission of building performance and safety.

### 2010 T re as u rer ’s R ep o rt ( 2009 Fiscal Ye a r )

By William Dupler, Secretary/Treasurer As Secretary Treasurer of the International Code Council (ICC), it is my privilege to report to the members on the financial condition of the organization. The impact of the recession that began in 2008 has made the economic environment in 2009 and 2010 very difficult. The weak housing and commercial real estate markets continue to have an adverse impact on the construction industry. In addition, constrained state and local government budgets have created new challenges for the ICC and its members. The quick actions of the ICC Board and the management team to control our 2009 and 2010 expenses allowed us to stabilize the financial position of the Code Council. In fact, our Net Assets increased by nearly $0.7 million in 2009 over the prior year. We have ended 2009 in a strong financial position despite the difficult economic environment. As we have reported in prior years, a key financial strategy has been to increase our cash balance to a level where we have cash reserves that are adequate to provide us with funds from which we can draw in the event of an economic or cyclical downturn. Clearly this strategy was critical to sustaining the ICC during 2008 when we withdrew $5.9 million from our cash reserves. In 2009, we focused on controlling expenses and replenishing the cash reserves drawn down in 2008. The prudent financial actions of the ICC Board and the management staff resulted in an increase of $4.1 million in cash and investments over the prior year. During 2010, we continue to be challenged by the economic conditions, but remain focused on preserving our cash reserves. Also, we remain committed to investing our resources in opportunities that add value to the ICC members. Total revenue in 2009 was $53.6 million. Publication sales were lower by $5.5 million compared to the prior year. Operating expenses were $52.8 million; a decrease of $18.7 million compared to the prior year. We made many hard decisions to control expenses including reductions in the workforce, wages and member benefits. In 2010, we have tried to restore wages and member benefits in a manner that is prudent and affordable given our financial position. In addition to managing expenses we continue to manage accounts receivable and inventory particularly during a time of declining publication sales. Working capital management is of critical importance in maintaining our cash flow. As a percentage, inventory and accounts receivable are less than 18% of total revenue for the fifth consecutive year

. A graphical breakout of 2009 revenue by category is displayed below. ICC’s consolidated 2009 audited financial statements are also included as part of this 2010 annual report.

# Program Profiles and Highlights12 Dep a rtme n t P u rp os e Member Support is the gateway through which members reach the ICC products and services they need. Member Support staff’s day-to-day responsibilities include processing renewal dues payments and entering new members into the databases. More importantly, Member Support staff is available via phone, mail, e-mail and fax to assist members with their questions. As a member-driven organization, ICC relies on Member Support personnel to provide the personal attention our members expect. The five-member staff handles approximately 1,200 calls each month from members and potential members wanting to get the most out of their relationships with the International Code Council.
One of the conveniences our members find more and more valuable is the ICC website. Members must sign in with an e-mail address and password, and Member Support provides assistance to the members who need help with their logins. Member Support staff also work to keep the membership information in our databases as accurate as possible, so our members can access needed services as easily as possible. Duplicate accounts are being cleared and incorrect contact information is being updated. Since members depend on website logins for many ICC services, having all records updated is vital to a positive web experience.

A cco mp li s hme n t s In 2010, Member Support launched a member retention campaign. The campaign has been crafted specifically to remind members of all the valuable products and services ICC provides, not simply to increase membership renewals. ICC members deserve to get the most out of their dues, and this series of e-mail campaigns lists the services members find most valuable. The International Code Council also is working to strengthen relations with partner organizations such as the American Institute of Architects and the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, offering discounted memberships (often reciprocal) for customers holding dual memberships. Ch all e ng e s In order to provide the personal service so important to our members, Member Support has made strides in automating many of the more routine tasks. Renewal invoices, for instance, are first sent to as many members as possible via e-mail, with links to the online renewal process. With just a few clicks through the ICC website, members can renew their dues immediately. Staff also is using the website to collect demographic information about our members so ICC can provide the best services possible. The more information available regarding our members’ careers and interests, the better ICC staff will be able to customize the services we offer.

### “ In 2010, Member Support launched a member

r etention campaign. The campaign has been crafted specifically to remind members of all the valuable products and services ICC provides, not simply to increase membership renewals.”

| The Member Support staff looks forward to an improving economy in 2011. Many customers have been unable to join the ICC or renew

t heir memberships because of job loss and other economic difficulties. Member Support is working to restore some of the services that were suspended during the recent economic downturn. In particular, plans are underway to restore welcome kits to new members. Staff also is looking into ways to strengthen relationships with student members, helping them work toward a career in code enforcement. Member Support will continue to provide the most value for all our members in all member categories. |13 Dep a rtme n t P u rp os e The Marketing Department is charged with understanding the goals of all the business units within ICC and developing strategic and tactical marketing plans to help the departments achieve those goals. The Marketing Department, in many ways, is the voice of ICC and its subsidiaries, communicating to the members and to the community information on products and services that ICC has to help them in the execution and fulfillment of their jobs.

A cco mp lis hme n t s During the past few years, this department has undergone a reorganization and revitalization as it learned to execute its duties in more focused, efficient, and effective ways, utilizing both internal and external marketing experts to combine historical and market knowledge with cutting-edge promotional strategies. The ICC Marketing Department has continued to find new and innovative ways to cross-promote the broad range of products and services offered by ICC and its subsidiaries, leveraging strengths in one area to raise the level of interest and usage of lesser known or published products and services. In 2010 the Marketing Department, in recognizing the need to serve and strengthen its relationship with the ICC membership, developed and implemented new membership retention and outreach programs. These new programs began rolling out mid-year and are designed to engage the membership to a greater degree in ICC activities, ensure that the membership understands its importance to ICC, and to solicit feedback on a continued basis to ensure we are providing value to the membership through our services and product offerings. We, as a membership organization, are responsible for meeting our members’ needs with products and services that help them to efficiently and effectively do their jobs. This year also included some significant milestones for ICC, including the launch of the International Green Construction Code (IGCC) and other green products and services. The Marketing Department built on relationships with major green construction experts in the industry to reach out and inform the wider community of such ICC activities. The IGCC was rolled out and promoted as an immediately usable resource for jurisdictions that were considering implementing green building ordinances, and the Marketing Department and its outside consultants rolled out informative, awareness campaigns on the existence, importance, and usability of the IGCC by jurisdictions, large and small. ICC’s Marketing Department also engaged in large educational and promotional strategies to reach out and inform key state adoption audiences of the availability of ICC products and services. Beginning with California and closing out the year with New York State, marketing delivered the information the markets needed to know about new ICC products and services. A difficult year for the construction industry meant that the Marketing Department, too, needed to be vigilant in maximizing its impact and reach with each dollar spent. ICC’s membership and customer base needed information, and the Marketing Department responded with highly efficient, smartly targeted campaigns that minimized waste.

Ch all e ng e s Members benefited in 2010 from a number of new initiativesthat marketing assisted in delivering: new discounts on thirdparty software, new member discounts with other partner organizations, new free trial opportunities of the latest innovative electronic products, and more. The Marketing Department continues to look at ways to extend even more opportunities to our members to deliver sneak peeks at new books and services, and it urges members to watch the website and their email for notifications.

### “ ICC’s Marketing Department also engaged in

l arge educational and promotional strategies to reach out and inform key state adoption audiences of the availability of ICC products and services.”

| Marketing’s continuing goal is to provide the smartest strategic and tactical solutions that will enable the various product and service lines

t o meet their objectives and goals. Marketing will work, in 2011, to also ensure that the membership continues to receive valuable benefits in return for their time and financial investment in ICC and in ICC’s mission of building a safe and sustainable world. |14 Dep a rtme n t P u rp os e The role of the Communications Department is to tell the story of the International Code Council to keep members and other stakeholders, the public and the media informed about the activities and accomplishments of the organization. Communications reaches out using strategic messages to create positive perceptions of ICC and its members, protect and advance its corporate reputation, promote the organization’s commitment to safety and quality, and help drive the bottom line. Utilizing and deploying a talented team that is nimble and adaptable to meet ever-changing demands, often on short notice, the five-person team creates a variety of quality strategic communications tactics to meet its goals and objectives. Communications develops and publishes quality, informational products including eNews, a twice-a-month digital newsletter that reaches more than 140,000 readers and the Building Safety Journal online, a member-only benefit published every other month and delivered to about 30,000 ICC members. Communications also has editorial and production responsibility for CEO Quarterly—a new online publication— and digital newsletters for ICC affiliates: ICC Foundation, ICC Evaluation Service and International Accreditation. Staff provides support to the International Green Construction Code Update newsletter and other initiatives associated with the development of this new code. The department uses news and product releases to generate publicity in trade publications, blogs, external websites and consumer media, including newspapers, radio and television, resulting in millions of positive impressions annually. Communications provides editorial and strategic messaging support to many of the thousands of pages on the ICC website and Communities of Interest. Staff works with senior management and other ICC departments to develop informational email campaigns from policy changes to voting member’s ethics, Blueprint 2015 and technical knowledge A cco mp lis hme n t s This year, outreach was expanded to include social/new media. As a result ICC has a strong presence on Wikipedia, is followed on Twitter and viewed on Facebook. Among plans in the works to ensure ICC has a robust new/social media presence are expanding ICC videos on YouTube, establishing blogs and developing an ICC Linkedin page. Communications researches and writes talking points and speeches for senior management and others who make public appearances on behalf of ICC. It writes and edits articles for staff that appear in external publications. Staff also produces CEO eUpdate, an internal publication for the Board and Senior Management, and provides editorial support to Human Resources for Connections, a staff newsletter. The conversion of the very popular Building Safety Journal into an online magazine after an almost one-year absence is among the Department’s notable accomplishments and highlights in 2010. Communications also produced a new digital newsletter, CEO Quarterly, which includes insights and news from the CEO aimed at long-term members. Another highlight is the continued growth of the ICC eNews readership base.

### “ This year, outreach was expanded to include social/

| Looking forward to 2011, Communications will develop and apply strategies to continuously improve the quality of its products, often

b ased on surveys with members and other users. The department will continue to monitor the ever-changing technological advancements that create new ways to reach out to all ICC stakeholders. |15 Dep a rtme n t P u rp os e Chapter Relations is committed to building stronger, more sustainable chapters by providing a comprehensive benefit package, encouraging chapter participation, and promoting activities and advocacy that support ICC’s mission and goals.

A cco mp lis hme n t s Our chapter family grew by seven new chapters since the last annual report, bringing the total to 342, including eight regional chapters. Like the ICC Chapter Program, our volunteer chapter organizations had some challenges this year and had to dig deep and be creative to sustain themselves and continue to be vibrant and valuable to members. Fewer chapters saw growth this year, but most maintained members. Many chapters reported a decline in attendance at chapter meetings due to smaller budgets and increased workloads in their municipalities. Despite this, most chapters had successful education conferences and meetings. Chapters around the country participated in our first Building Safety Month by reaching out to the public and elected officials to drive home the importance of building safety and the role of the code official. Chapter Leaders took advantage of every resource they could leverage. Several chapters capitalized on the ICC Foundation Code of Honor Scholarships by agreeing to match funds to send qualifying ICC voting members to code hearings. Chapter members also reported more than 6,500 volunteer hours in the ICCF Volunteer Corps. Chapters heralded the return of the “live instructor-led” chapter training-benefit day. The half-price training benefit is believed to be sustainable for the future. Chapter Leaders showed patience and perseverance in acclimating to the new website and updates to chapter reporting forms. The best is yet to come, when the completion of the chapter program update is completed later this year. Chapters continue to work diligently in their local communities to support the Community Building Code Administrative Grant Act by holding meetings with their legislators and constituents. Ch all e ng e s For 2011, the Chapter Relations goals and objectives include transitioning from a primarily administrative function to a more robust program based on outreach. This will involve more travel to chapter meetings to focus on promoting the chapter program and ICC products and services and to inform, educate and build loyalty and support for ICC. This outreach transition also emphasizes how Chapter Relations can act as an advocate for chapters, learn from them, and use that knowledge to modify and enhance our existing program and benefits. On an ongoing basis, staff will work with Chapter Committees to seek advice and feedback regarding the implementation of improvements and updates to the program.

| On the administrative side, the completion of the Avectra database system update by early 2011 will facilitate a more user-friendly and

l ess staff-intensive process. |16 Dep a rtme n t P u rp os e MTS provides meeting planning and travel coordination to all of the organization’s internal and external clients. MTS has a dedicated team that continues to provide management for the variety of meetings that is required to fulfill all Code Council needs. MTS negotiates corporate rates with hotels and rental car companies that all internal and external clients can benefit from. MTS plans and manages more than 75 meetings and books more than 250 airline reservations annually. These meetings included the 2010 Spring Hearings, 2010 International Green Construction Code Public Comments, 2010 Annual Conference, and numerous committee meetings, training seminars, Board of Directors meetings, and staff meetings.

A cco mp lis hme n t s The 2010 Dallas Final Action Hearings were a great success for MTS as well as ICC. There were a total of 617 registrations. The 2010 IGCC Public Comment Hearings had more than 200 registrations. MTS has initiated new approaches in its planning of the 2010 Annual Conference and Final Action Hearings in Charlotte, North Carolina, including providing seed money to the host committee regarding the Opening Event and redesigning the Global Forum. Ch all e ng e s MTS continues to use partnerships with hotel chains, rental car agencies, and convention centers to reduce costs and avoid significant increases in attendee expenses. MTS also has incorporated more limited-service hotels to ensure attendees have more options when it comes to lodging during the conference. Green meeting standards are being implemented and enforced in all meetings produced by MTS in 2010 and beyond.

a ttention to deeper discounts when feasible. In addition, ICC is in the process of implementing a new travel system for all ICC staff and volunteers. This program will make booking travel and submitting expenses quick and seamless, reducing staff time and administrative
expenses. |

MEM B ER S H I P AND OU TR E AC H S ER V IC E S - - A n Overv i ew In 2010, a new division titled “Membership and Outreach Services” was created to bring together five departments with a similar mission. As we focus on renewed value for our members in this post-recession economy we have seen the benefit of closely linking our Membership and Chapter Relations functions with the teams heading up our Meetings, Marketing and Communications activities. The synergy between these areas is opening up new discussions around the common theme of outreach: what is most effective, what is desired, and what adds value to the Code Council experience. Through our combined efforts we are seeking more feedback on our performance, and friendlier ways to provide information and address the needs of our stakeholders. Highlights include: a stronger emphasis on our members and member issues at our Annual Conference including a panel of members addressing the economy and videos profiling key award winners; an evolving design of the electronic, members-only Building Safety Journal with tools to enhance the interaction; participation in the upgrade and redesign of the Code Council website and its features regarding member profiles, bulletin board, news and events; a coordinated plan across the Code Council to offer periodic free or low-cost additional member benefits; and, an ongoing commitment to portray the Code Council story in a manner that best reflects the professionalism and depth of our members.

. A RM S TR ONG | SE N IOR VICE p reside n t17 Dep a rtme n t P u rp os e Technical Services consists of Code and Standards Development and Architectural and Engineering Services. The Technical Services professional staff is responsible for the development, maintenance, and support of the entire family of International Codes, Standards and corresponding Code Commentaries; the development of new codes as directed by the ICC Board; and related technical support services, from code opinions to committee interpretations, plan reviews and technical consulting. Our highly skilled team is dedicated to providing timely information of exceptional quality to all ICC members and other users of the codes. The end of the 2009/2010 code change cycle is upon us. It represents the transition to the new code development process approved by the ICC Board in December 2008. Administering the code change cycle in exact compliance with code development procedures in support of 13 individual codes is an ambitious undertaking. All published deadlines must be met while processing a record number of proposed code changes and public comments. Our team also provides staff support to the code development committees and numerous other codes and standards committees, and supports the activities of the four councils: Building, Fire, Plumbing/Mechanical/Fuel Gas, and Standards. The Code Technology Committee (CTC) met twice this yearalong with study groups on various topics. The TerrorismResistant Building Ad Hoc Committee concluded its activities regarding changes based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology World Trade Center report, as did the Ad Hoc Wall Bracing committee. The Sustainable Building Technology Committee concluded its work as the drafting committee for the International Green Construction Code (IGCC). The first public hearing in response to Public Version 1.0 of the IGCC concluded in August. This will result in Public Version 2.0, available in November that will be the basis for the first code development hearings of the IGCC followed by Final Action hearings and production of the 2012 edition. Standards development continues to be very active, having most recently filed PINS (Project Initiation Notification System) for several water irrigation system standards. The following ICC standards are maintained through the ANSI process as directed by the ICC Board: the Bleacher Standard, the Log Standard, the Storm Shelter Standard, the Hurricane Resistant Construction Standard, ICC 700 and the ICC/ANSI A117 Standard. The ICC/ANSI Standard committee, renamed ICC A117.1, completed its work, and ANSI approval is expected by the end of the year.

| Approximately 2,570 code change proposals have been processed this cycle, an increase of 15 percent over last year’s record-setting

n umber of submissions. The last cycle concluded with the publication of the 2009 International Codes. New to this cycle is the move to a single, three-year code development cycle. This cycle is the only chance to impact the 2012 codes. |18 A cco mp lis hme n t s ICC's technical support is one of the most sought-after services provided to our members. An exceptional technical staff provides technical advice, more than 70,000 code opinions (verbal or written) and committee interpretations to ICC members at no charge as a member benefit. Code opinion requests received through the telephone queue average 110 per day. Additional opinions via direct call, the website and letters bring that number up to approximately 280 per day or 70,500 per year. Requests for committee interpretations average approximately five per month, and since the first request on August 29, 2002, we have processed approximately 465 requests. Currently there are 205 committee interpretations posted on the ICC website. Pending interpretations also are posted online for member review and comment. ICC Technical Services also provides on-demand plan review services to aid jurisdictions in the timely examination of construction documents submitted with a building permit application. The Code Council’s plan-review team provides the highest quality reviews because of its extensive knowledge of and experience with the codes. In addition to plan reviews, the department also offers fee-based technical consulting for the evaluation of specific code topics as applied to a specific project or circumstance. More information on all of our services is available on the ICC website. Ch all e ng e s The development of the 2012 Codes and Commentaries will be our primary objective. Another major objective is the development of the first new I-Code in nine years, the IGCC. Additionally, we are initiating the process of developing the new comprehensive swimming pool code beginning with the 2012 Commentaries.

Through high-quality seminars with the most knowledgeable instructors in the industry and innovative online options, ICC’s training and education programs help ensure that ICC members are qualified to perform their duties as well as advance and grow in their profession. In 2010, ICC’s Training and Education Department focused on strengthening the core offering for our membership as well as capitalizing on new markets and opportunities. We remain focused on the Council’s membership by providing a variety of training programs based on the 2009 and 2006 I-Codes. Training and Education continues to pursue more-efficient means to utilize existing capacity to provide new training content approaches and resource options. This adheres to our long-term strategy to look for ways to better address the needs of members and seminar participants in terms of quality materials, relevant seminar offerings and affordability. After a challenging year in 2009, we have looked to re-establish positive relationships with ICC chapters to provide more educational opportunities to local membership. Financially, we maximized revenue while controlling operational expenses.

A cco mp li s hme n t s Accomplishments in 2010 include the implementation of several state-level training initiatives based on the International Energy Conservation Code; significant global growth with new and growing programs in the United Arab Emirates, Jamaica and Guam; and the development and delivery of new green training offerings, including courses to support ICC’s International Green Construction Code and California’s CALGreen code. We undertook an initiative to expand and enhance our online training capabilities, including revamped webinars, enhanced online certification practice exams, and new full-featured online training classes, such as the Wind Mitigation course, developed in partnership with the ICC Foundation and FLASH. These join a growing family of available training and education options for our membership and beyond, including:

• Cl assroom training with seminars available on the 2009 and 2006 editions of the I-Codes offered in six of our traditional series, including: Fundamental series (one-day seminars highlighting basic code provisions); Performing series (multiday seminars teaching a how-to approach); Special topic series (one-day seminars with focus on a specific code subject); Update/Significant Change series (half-day seminars that overview major code changes); Administrative series (oneday seminars addressing leadership and management skills); and Architects/Engineers series (seminars that address topics of interest for the design professional).

• On line training and eTraining webinars with more than 80 course titles available online and more than 20 eTraining webinars in which participants can view instructors and participate directly from their desktops.

• In stitutes that bring learning communities together to learn

and network in a multi-day format centered around a specific area of expertise.

• An nual conference education offering numerous seminar

titles that focus on the relevant topics of building, fire, and PMG areas of interest, plus more than 50 Cracker Barrel roundtable discussion.

• Tr ansition and update training that provides customized training to assist jurisdictions with a smooth transition. As the 2009 editions of the codes continue to expand, update training is available to assist in the adoption and implementation of the latest code editions.

• Cu stomized curriculum provided by our staff of highly

qualified technical and educational experts may include requests ranging from minor revisions to existing programs to requests for large, innovative multi-day programs, such as local code academies.

### “

In response to the continued difficult economic

c limate and growing interest and demand from multiple facets of our membership, we undertook an initiative to expand and enhance our online training capabilities, including revamped webinars, enhancedonline certification practice exams, and new fullfeatured online training classes.”20 Dep a rtme n t P u rp os e The Certification and Testing Department (C&T) continues to fulfill its role as the Council’s testing engine, providing a broad spectrum of examination and testing services that are utilized by members within local jurisdictions and states. The examinations are designed to thoroughly assess the competency of those individuals charged with the responsibility of ensuring the safety of the built environment. 2010 sees the Certification and Testing team continuing to do more with less, building on the efficiencies, advancements and sound practices implemented in 2009. Financially, the department remains on track to meet or exceed the 2010 forecast, fueled by modest growth in first-time certifications and certification renewals, growth in the Underground Storage Tank (UST) and Aboveground Storage Tank (AST ) certification program, and significant expansion of our Contractor Examination Services. Our legacy certification programs, however, have continued to stay flat or wane in popularity, as expected.

A cco mp lis hme n t s Accomplishments in 2010 include both business development successes as well as process and efficiency improvements. On the business development front, we are proud of the following highlights:

• Implementation of Green programs: Before year’s end, we

will have developed and launched new certification programs for both ICC’s International Green Construction Code and California’s CALGreen code.

• US T Program Development: We have developed and launched

new UST exams in six states (Georgia, Maryland, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Utah and Wisconsin) plus the New England region.

• Contractor/Trade Program Development: The ICC developed

and launched new contractor and trade exams in several states and jurisdictions, as well as new national certifications for residential fire sprinkler designers/installers.

• National Certification Exams: Additional new national

certifications include Fuel Gas Inspector and Residential Fire Sprinkler Inspector and Plans Examiner. In regard to process improvement and efficiency, the department has:

• In troduced a new Wallet Card design, reducing the time and

expense of card production while increasing quality by having a single wallet card listing all earned certifications, as opposed to a separate wallet card for each. In addition, printed wall certificates are now mailed by request only, free of charge.

• Extended the availability of exams based on the 2006

I-codes for those jurisdictions that have not yet moved to the 2009 Codes.

• Up graded the Online Certification Renewal program to include

Special Inspector categories. Through the year, acceptance and use of the online renewal option has grown from 37 percent of renewals to 53 percent (as of August) and rising.

Ch all e ng e s As ICC and our members continue to deal with the ongoing economic realities, the Certification and Testing team has made other adjustments to how we do business. We have streamlined the functionality and process of EDC meetings to accomplish more in a shorter amount of time in managing the portfolio of 614 exams, including increased use of secure web conferencing. Certification candidates who test at ournetwork of computer-based testing sites now receive PassFail notification immediately upon test completion, instead of having to wait for notification by mail after the fact. We also continue to take advantage of new and developing business opportunities, including potential new global programs (Abu Dhabi, Guam) and the U.S. Department of Energy fueled programs, resulting in seven new programs in 2010 and more expected in 2011.

| We look toward 2011 with some key goals and objectives in sight: increasing the frequency and quality of

p ersonal contact with all stakeholders (candidates, jurisdictions, partners); refining and improving the skill set of the certification and testing team; continued streamlining of operational processes to increase product quality and member satisfaction; and developing new certification programs to increase ICC’s domestic and international opportunities. | Loo k i ng for wa rd | DA V ID DU FR E SN E | E X EC DIR, ED U C A TI O N AN D CERT.

B usin e ss and P r oduc t Deve lo pme n t As the year comes to a close, we are confronted with a construction industry that is anxiously looking to the horizon for the slightest glimpse that recovery is at hand. Like most companies in our industry, ICC has felt the pressure to do more with less. While the economy has proven challenging, the Business and Product Development Group, through collaboration with key partners, was able to continue ICC’s rich tradition of expanding its portfolio of quality products and services needed to meet the high expectations of our diverse customer base. 2010 witnessed further strengthening in our relationships with many of our long-term partners while we simultaneously developed new associations with entities that share our building safety mission. To help assist code users in the proper application of the structural provisions contained in the 2009 International Building Code (IBC), the Code Council continued its close collaboration with the National Council of Structural Engineers Associations (NCSEA). This resulted in the publication with NCSEA of the Guide to the Design of Out-of-Plane Wall Anchorage in addition to their review and co-branding of ICC’s updated structural design publication titled Structural Load Determination
,both based on the 2009 IBC. Working closely with our longterm partner the Masonry Institute of America, ICC participated in production of the sixth edition of the Reinforced Masonry Engineering Handbook , an engineering classic used in many universities. Included in this edition is a CD-ROM containing additional masonry design publications as PDFs. Leveraging its vast network of publishing partners, which include such notables as McGraw-Hill, CRC Press, John Wiley & Sons, and Cengage, the Code Council was able to release an array of support publications for the 2009 International Codes at a record pace. The goal was to arrive early enough in the code cycle to ensure a smooth transition for those jurisdictions adopting the new codes. Responding to the industry’s need for timely and concise support publications, ICC added a fifth volume to its ever-popular, four-color, Significant Changes series. Scheduled for release in the fall, the new Significant Changes to the ICC A117.1 Accessibility Standard has been expedited to coincide with the release of the new Accessibility Standard. Based on the demand for the Building Code Illustrated: A Guide to Understanding the 2009 IBC , John Wiley and ICC agreed to expand this series to include Building Codes Illustrated , based on the 2009 International Residential Code that was released in the second quarter of this year. ICC continued to release an array of support products for the building safety community, including Residential Fire Sprinkler Systems , the Commercial Kitchen Hood Application Guide , the Residential Inspectors Guides and the Green Residential Building Study Companion. Also of note, ICC released the first two installments under its new Guideline Program, the Guideline for Replicable Buildings and the Guideline for Acoustics

. The flexibility, technical quality and support provided by ICC are just a few of the reasons jurisdictions at both the state and local level depend on the International Codes. In 2010, our Publications Department was faced with increasingly condensed schedules. The department rose to meet this challenge by streamlining processes and production times to better serve all ICC internal and external customers with publishing and printing projects. From August 2009 through July 2010, more than 900 titles and support materials were completed. In addition to production of the 2009 Commentaries, our Publications Department released the 2010 California Codes, the 2010 New York State Codes and custom codes for the states of Arkansas, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey and Oregon. With the imminent release of public version 2.0 of the International Green Construction Code (IGCC), ICC has been fast at work developing publications to support this code and technical publications focused on good building design practices aimed at sustainability. In collaboration with McGraw-Hill and its Greensource publications group, five new titles addressing green buildings practices were released covering new and existing buildings.

Earlier this year, the Code Council worked closely with the State of California to publish the first statewide mandatory Green Building Code . Referred to as CALGreen, this code goes into effect on January 1. During the first 120 days of its availability, sales for this code exceeded forecast by more than 100 percent, giving us an early glimpse of the demand that may be in store for the upcoming IGCC at the national level. To better meet the need for services supporting the IGCC, the ICC 700 and CALGreen, ICC collaborated with Green Technology, a nonprofit initiative designed to inform government efforts toward sustainability, providing a forum where governmental officials can communicate with those in the private sector who are developing and distributing green technologies. Joint outreach efforts will include Green Summit Events, training, electronic news briefs and the development of support products. In addition, ICC has continued to build on its partnership with GreenBuilder Media, a leading company in North America focused on green building and responsible growth for the residential building industry. Working through GreenBuilder Media’s flagship magazine, the Code Council has been better able to disseminate timely information on what is happening in the world of codes and standards as it relates to green buildings. With budgetary belts continually being tightened, we must applaud the efforts of the Department of Energy (DOE) for underwriting free electronic downloads of the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). This DOE effort will assist local jurisdictions to raise the level of energy efficiency in their communities. Adding value during an economic downturn can prove challenging. This is where resourcefulness and ingenuity is required. The further development and implementation of our

new CodePlus program is just one example of how ICC is creating added value for its members and other users of the International Codes. This program allows purchasers of the most popular ICC codes to register their books online and gain access to a plethora of free digital support publications and other resources.

Publis h in g and Mul t i me di a The Publishing and Multimedia Division is comprised of three functional areas – Publications (editorial, prepress and commercial printing), Printing Services (In-plant and Document Management Center), and Electronic Media (eCodes, eCodes Premium online subscription services, DVD products and video production). In 2010, Publications was faced with increasingly fasttracked schedules. The department met this challenge by streamlining processes and production times to better service all ICC internal and external customers with publishing and printing projects. From August 2009 through July 2010, more than 900 book titles and support materials were completed by the department. In addition to production of the 2009 Commentaries, Publications released the 2010 California Codes and the 2010 New York State Codes. Custom code projects were also developed for the States of Arkansas, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina and Oregon. Key trade text titles included the 2009 Study Companion series; the first two Application Guides in planned series: Flammable Finishes Application Guide and Commercial Kitchen Hood Application Guide ; the Guide to the Design of Out-of-Plane Wall Anchorage , and Deck Construction Based on the 2009 IRC . Additionally, Publications staff completed the first in a series of Board-directed guidelines: ICC G1-2010: Guideline for Replicable Buildings

.

The Electronic Media team provides ICC members with several “green” alternatives to the printed documents. In addition to expanding ICC’s PDF download products, the department moved into the “App” arena with the debut of phone applications for the iPhone, Droid, and Blackberry. Selected codes were also made available for the Amazon Kindle reader. Debuting at the 2010 Conference will be the new iPad application enabling users to purchase PDF versions of ICC documents direct from the Apple Store to their iPad for utilization in the field. Subscribers with an eCodes Premium subscription can also view their custom libraries using the iPad. Also new this year is the integration of Evaluation Service reports into the eCodes Premium subscription service. The first reports are linked to the Premium versions of the 2006 I-Codes, and are being integrated into the 2009 subscriptions as they become available. In addition to its work on the Apps, the Electronic Media team is currently creating videos for ICC’s own You-Tube channel (http:// www.youtube.com/user/ICCMEDIA) as well as assisting in the production and delivery of webinars for Training and Education, and presentations for Certification, Marketing, IAS, ES and administrative employees.

In the last year, Printing Services updated its digital pressesin both the Chicago and Los Angeles offices to more energyefficient models. This new equipment has proven to be more efficient production-wise as well, with some 650 ordersbeing processed in the department – much of this as shortrun book work. Additionally, Printing Services is a key contributor to the company’s ongoing recycling efforts. ICC’s Printing Services uses eco-friendly pressroom chemistry, which includes:

• Printing with soy, aqueous or food-grade inks.

• Purchasing acid-free paper.

• Working with alcohol substitutes for fountain solutions

and water-based prepress chemicals.

• Adding a water-based aqueous coating to covers.

The particular coating ICC uses is safe to use on food wrappings.

• Working on a minimum make-ready operational schedule.

• Recycling cartons and packing materials. The department actively recycles spent toner cartridges, toner, glass/plastic containers, metals, batteries, bulbs, paper and cardboard. The department’s total reclaimed paper waste for June 1, 2009, through May 31, 2010, period was 14.61 tons.

G lobal Serv ic e s Success is usually the byproduct of the contributions of many. This year witnessed the expansion of ICC as a result of the efforts of our global partners. Working with allies, ICC witnessed an unprecedented volume of growth outside our borders when it needed it the most. The impact of ICC’s family of construction codes and their support system is being felt around the globe. In 2010, the key focus of the Global Services Program has been the United Arab Emirates. An MOU signed in 2008, and a contract signed in 2009 with the Abu Dhabi Department of Municipal Affairs (DMA), established ICC’s assistance in the adoption and development of ICC codes and provisions of building regulatory programs for the DMA. The DMA will adopt and implement I-Codes in January. This will coincide with the publication of the Abu Dhabi Codes Guide, which includes essential amendments to the ICC codes for the region. The Global Services Program more than doubled its presence in Abu Dhabi by adding six more ICC consultants, under contract, to begin work to train the municipalities’ plan review and building inspection staffs. A certification program also is being developed in conjunction with ICC’s Training Department. A third ICC seminar program is underway in Abu Dhabi, to be completed in November. Additional seminar programs are anticipated in 2011 to continue the work with Abu Dhabi to build a complete building safety system.
Global Services continues to focus on Latin America and the Caribbean, more specifically in Colombia, where ICC partners with the Instituto Colombiano de Normas Técnicas y Certificación, providing technical assistance to adopt and the 2009 International Plumbing Code as the foundation for Colombia’s Plumbing Code; the partnership includes educational and awareness programs as well as collaboration in conformity assessment in building safety. ICC’s PMG Group signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Asociación de Profesionales de Conducción de Fluidos (Association of Professional Water Engineers), joining forces to create initiatives that will be mutually beneficial for each organization and its respective members and residents.

ICC also is advising the Caribbean Community Regional Organization for Standards and Quality (CROSQ) on policy and technical components in the adoption of the 2009 ICC codes and providing technical assistance in the implementation strategy for the participating Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) and CROSQ member states. CROSQ includes Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Montserrat, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago.

When the first innovative steps to create the International Code Council were taken in 1994, the objective to develop, maintain, support and implement a single set of codes nationwide was vital. Today, 16 years later, that commitment and strong principled statement still rings of paramount importance within the Plumbing, Mechanical and Fuel Gas Group. The PMG group has based its success on fulfilling this original commitment of the International Code Council. The successes achieved would not have occurred without a strong emphasis on collaboration.

D ETERM INA T ION Through close cooperation between PMG and ICC’s Government Relations staff, the International Plumbing Code (IPC), International Mechanical Code (IMC) and International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) are each gaining more acceptance within the industry. These codes continue to be the most widely adopted PMG codes in the country, steadily replacing codes developed by other organizations. Activities in the past year include two notable adoptions. Indiana made the decision to move forward with a statewide code based on the International Plumbing Code
, replacing an alternative plumbing code. San Antonio, Texas, the seventh-largest economy in the country, has abandoned its outdated plumbing and mechanical codes and opted for the IPC, IMC and IFGC. We continually strive to educate decision makers about the benefits a complete set of comprehensive, correlated and technically safe codes provide. In Indiana and Utah, PMG staff participated in long-term, detailed code studies and comparison meetings. When decision makers provide an unbiased venue for open and frank dialogue to study technical and safety issues, the I-Codes prevail. We are proud to work side by side with the membership to realize their goals and are determined to implement all of the PMG codes — one jurisdiction at a time.

COLLABO R A T ION By examining the past, we can streamline our efforts for the future. ICC PMG has gained a reputation as a unit working closely in partnership with the industry, working together on mutual issues of concern to improve our specialized industry. We have learned that being open minded and inclusive attracts complementary partnerships. Our established formal partnerships with industry leaders such as the American Backflow Prevention Association, Air Conditioning Contractors of America, American Gas Association, Association of Pool and Spa Professionals, and Sheet Metal Air Conditioning Contractors National Association are providing a number of exciting outcomes, ranging from the nation’s first comprehensive code for all pools and spas to textbooks that describe the installation of kitchen hoods, fire and smoke dampers, and corridor penetrations, slide rule calculators for natural gas sizing, and co-branded educational opportunities. This year we have made new alliances with prestigious societies that share our parallel path for safety and sustainability such as the National Board of Boiler and Pressure and Vessel Inspectors, the American Rainwater Catchment Systems Association, American Fire Sprinkler Association, National Fire Sprinkler Association and the Center for Public Safety Excellence. Around the world leaders in the PMG industry have forged bonds with ICC. The Association of Plumbing, Heating Contractors of England and Wales met with PMG staff and signed a formal agreement to begin collaborative efforts to share information and align our industries, a first of its kind. While teaching sustainable plumbing practices in South America, we signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Asociación de Profesionales de Conducción de Fluidos (APROCOF Association of Professional Water Engineers), the leading society for plumbing engineers based in Colombia. Plans that will benefit both memberships already are progressing.25 The American Society of Plumbing Engineers (ASPE), one of the most prestigious plumbing engineering organizations in the United States, has entered into its first formal relationship in its 46-year history, placing its trust in the ICC. We already have begun several important projects with ASPE. The first and most exciting is our efforts to bring the first-ever ICC World Toilet Summit to the United States, hosted by ASPE. This builds upon the Code Council’s existing partnership with Jack Sim, founder of the World Toilet Organization (WTO). Our efforts with the WTO including the Summit helps bring awareness to the plight of billions of people globally who lack the simplest of safety and sanitary devices, a toilet. With the help of the industry and the public, the ICC can help keep children from perishing every 15 seconds due to sanitation issues. This event will bring the largest plumbing tradeshow, educational opportunities and speakers from around the world. It attracts ministers of science, international dignitaries and representation from the World Health Organization, UNICEF and the United Nations. As technological advancements force our world to shrink, the Code Council’s PMG group has become sought after to assist jurisdictions globally. We have formed relationships, held meetings, instructed stakeholders, presented to public officials, delivered speeches and assisted in PMG code-development projects in places as diverse as Mexico, Singapore, London, Puerto Rico, Colombia and Abu Dhabi. In collaboration with the WTO, we are developing the first Global Guideline for Practical Public Toilet Design . With contribution from representatives of 12 countries, it will be used as a definitive guide for public restroom design worldwide. These initiatives, along with our support of the Institute of Plumbing South Africa and the World Plumbing Council, illustrate our commitment to the global landscape.

INNO V A

T ION PMG has gathered experts and created the first illustrated book for everyone associated with fire sprinkler systems. The Residential Fire Sprinkler Design, Installation and Code Administration Handbook , certification exams and educational programs will assist contractors, designers, plan review experts and inspectors to better prepare for the systems planned for implementation in the coming months and years. As more jurisdictions adopt the PMG codes, we continue to ask our members and other stakeholders what they need to perform their tasks more efficiently and effectively. From this feedback, we have created simple and inexpensive water and Drain, Waste and Vent slide-rule calculators so contractors and inspectors can easily design, size and verify pipe sizing. We are working hard to help the industry recognize the value and integrity of our ICC-Evaluation Service PMG Listing program. ICC’s skilled engineers verify a product’s compliance to standards and codes, saving designers and building officials time and allowing them to perform optimally with confidence.
The International Green Construction Code (IGCC) contains cutting edge water-efficiency provisions. No other guidance for green construction reflects the input or level of scientific community interest, and none utilize our most essential resource, water, as effectively. They do not address site landscape irrigation, car washes, alternative sources for fire sprinkler systems, or rainwater catchment as thoroughly and innovatively as the IGCC. PMG has made a bold step to begin development of five new ANSI standards to support water efficiency within the IGCC. The standards focus on landscape irrigation and rainwater collection. We have reached out to leading professional organizations such as the Irrigation Association, the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers and the American Rainwater Catchment Systems Association. All will collaborate in the standards development.As a returning partner to this year’s largest gathering of waterefficiency experts, the WaterSmart Innovations Conference, we facilitated a first-of-its-kind roundtable discussion and forum as representatives of academia, water utilities, manufacturers, landscape architects, irrigation consultants and the Environmental Protection Agency’s WaterSense program brainstormed the best path forward.

When decision makers provide an unbiased venue for open and frank dialogue to study technical and safety issues, the I-Codes prevail. |26 A W A RE N E SS The PMG Group has represented Code Council members at more than 45 engagements, tradeshows, conferences and industry events across the globe from leading a code workshop at the HVACR Educators and Trainers Conference in Las Vegas to participating in many water-efficiency panels and technical committees for LEED, ASHRAE and the Alliance for Water Efficiency; to delivering the keynote speech before Lord and Lady O’Neil and the entire plumbing and heating industry in London; and by presenting the closing speech in Spanish at the APROCOF conference in Bogota. PMG media reaches the entire globe through print and the Internet. More than 10 different magazines, from the Wall Street Journal , to Contractor, Plumbing and Mechanical, Reeves Journal
, The Earth Times and Plumbing Africa , carried articles and monthly columns authored by PMG staff. We have authored articles, provided quotes, placed ads, published press releases and tracked hundreds of thousands of hits on our announcements on subjects ranging from minimum water closet requirements to green and sustainability issues, carwash systems, proper drain, waste and vent sizing, and kitchen grease system design, and sanitation and safe-water provisions worldwide. THE F U T U RE Although our PMG codes are the most widely recognized and implemented, locally and globally, we will not rest until the members’ vision of one set of codes is achieved. The members’ dedication to safety drives our determination to educate each and every jurisdiction, construction professional and industry stakeholder to the benefits of the I-Codes. It is a simple concept – a chain reaction takes place when a jurisdiction adopts aPMG code. By combining the highest level of safety, cuttingedge techniques and sustainable technology, reinforced by world class support, the codes ensure that anyone who works, plays, sleeps, shops, studies or worships in any structure will achieve the automatic benefit of safe, durable and sustainable buildings – locally or globally.

| We will continue to enhance the Code Council’s image and prominence as a leader in public safety in the plumbing,

m echanical and fuel gas arena, positioning the Code Council as the premier organization for comprehensive building safety products, services and information for the built environment. The focus will remain on providing the most innovative products, services and technical expertise to support PMG disciplines, increasing awareness of the ICC plumbing, mechanical and fuel gas programs, and leveraging the expertise of our members and staff. Through these efforts we will build coalitions with organizations, ICC chapters and individuals to strengthen the membership’s experience and the industry’s recognition of the Code Council, and fortify our mission to protect the public’s health and safety locally, nationally and worldwide. | Loo k i ng for wa rd | J AY PETER S | E X EC U TI VE DIRECTOR - P M G27 Dep a rtme n t P u rp os e The Government Relations (GR) team supports the mission of ICC through its work to:

• support the adoption and use of the I-Codes and the code

process used to develop the codes,

• to promote related ICC services, and

• to advocate for the interests of our members.
The GR team does this by targeted, direct advocacy, and forging strategic alliances with entities that have objectives compatible with the Code Council’s objectives and its code development process.

A cco mp lis hme n t s -

2009-2010 Hig h lig ht s The number of jurisdictions joining the I-Codes family continues to grow. The International Building Code ® (IBC) is in use or adopted in all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, the Virgin Islands and in Guam. The International Residential Code is the second-most widely used I-Code, now in 48 states, the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands. It is followed by the International Mechanical Code and the International Fire Code (IFC) in 47 and 45 states respectively. The International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) is not far behind with adoptions in 42 states, and it will undoubtedly be in all 50 states very soon due to the requirements in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), commonly known as the ”stimulus package.” GR was successful in securing a reference to the 2009 IECC in the ARRA, including provisions that led to governors providing letters of intent promising to adopt the IECC and provide for its training and enforcement in order to receive a share of the $3.1 billion in stimulus funds. We also succeeded in getting the Community Building Code Administration Grant Act (HR 2246 and S 970) reintroduced on May 5, 2009, with bipartisan sponsorship in both the U.S. House and Senate. The House bill, HR 2246, was attached to the American Clean Energy and Security Act, which passed the House on June 25, 2009. As of August 2010, there were 32 co-sponsors of the House bill and eight Senate bill co-sponsors. While the climate on Capitol Hill has turned increasingly against legislation authorizing new spending programs, we have gained increased visibility for the work of building code enforcement as a result of advocating on behalf of this legislation. Some examples of the many state and local activities GR has affected include one or more of the 2009 I-Codes forming the basis of current construction regulations in the states of California, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Delaware, Texas, Virginia, Michigan, Massachusetts, Maine, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Alabama, West Virginia, Florida, Iowa, Maryland, Montana, Oregon, Oklahoma, Utah, Washington, Tennessee, and Illinois (which also passed a bill requiring all non-code jurisdictions to use the International Building Code ® (IBC ® ), the International Existing Building Code ® (IEBC ® ), and the International Property Maintenance Code ® (IPMC ® )) , Guam, and the Northern Marianas Islands. The City of Richland, Washington, and the State of Rhode Island also adopted the ICC’s newest code, the International Green Construction Code ® , (IGCC ® ) by reference. As a member of the federal wildland/urban interface (WUI) taskforce, the Code Council worked with the group to develop and propose a 10-year strategy to deal with the national WUI fire problem for President Obama’s Administration. ICC was the only non-government participant in the group. The Code Council also is a founding member of the United Nations (UN) International Wildland Fire Alliance, and the 2009 International Wildland Urban Interface Code was referenced in the UN International Wildland Fire Management Guidelines. We have been working with the Western Governors Association to bring more than 300 organizations together in an unprecedented effort to persuade Congress that the upward trend in fire suppression funding costs increasingly prevent the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service and the Department of the Interior land management agencies from implementing critical programs and fulfilling their missions. In March of 2010, in cooperation with the National Resource Conservation and Development Council (RC&D), ICC announced the formation of the National Wildland Urban Interface Council. The fall 2010 meeting will be hosted by the National Association of Home Builders at its Washington, D.C., office. ICC also participated in the development of the National Cohesive Wildland Fire Strategy document that will be presented to Congress in November.

Government Relations worked with organizations such as the American Institute of Architects, (AIA), U.S. Green Building Council (USGBS) and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) to introduce resolutions supporting the IGCC before the National League of Cities (in process), National Conference of State Legislatures (in process), and the National Conference of Mayors (passed in July). The National Association of Counties (NACO) also passed in July a resolution supporting the Community Building Code Administration Grant Act. Our Congressional Relations (CR) team represents the Code Council’s legislative agenda before federal policymakers and proactively addresses Congressional action impacting our interests in building safety, fire prevention and private-sector codes and standards development. As the ICC has continued to strengthen and expand its role as an advocate and expert in construction-related topics, involvement at the Congressional level has become an integral part of its government relations work. CR includes a dedicated effort to keep ICC members informed and involved in pending actions in Congress that have implications for the built environment. Our CR objectives are to obtain reference of the I-Codes in federal legislation; position ICC and its members as resources and experts on building and fire safety issues; and strengthen our advocacy efforts to produce favorable outcomes for building safety, building and fire officials, and the construction industry. Increasingly, ICC’s Government Relations staff members have been called on to provide accurate information to both Congressional committees and the staffs of individual members of Congress on issues relating to building codes, building health and safety issues, building energy use, and tax-code incentives related to building improvements and performance. Federal Agencies . In addition to closely tracking legislation, GR also works closely with Executive Branch officials and monitors the Federal Register for rulemakings that affect ICC, our members and partners. We work to advance the Code Council’s relationships with more than one hundred federal agencies, boards, and councils that carry out building and fire code related missions. The objectives in the GR Federal Plan include increasing seeking awareness of and recognition by federal agencies of relevant ICC codes, services, programs and publications; seeking reference to the I-Codes in regulations or agency directives; encouraging agencies to participate in and support development of the I-Codes; and contracting with ICC for services or products. In 2009 and 2010, ICC testified before the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and filed formal comments on dozens of proposed federal regulations, from environmental rules to the long-sought recognition by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) of the IFC as an alternative means to demonstrate compliance with the OSHA “Means of Egress” requirements for employers. ICC was contacted numerous times in 2010 to provide technical assistance to the Internal Revenue Service to interpret federal laws that referenced the IECC as the basis for tax credits.

Organizations and Associations. GR is also responsible for supporting ICC’s work with national groups that share similar goals and are either involved or are stakeholders in the development, adoption or implementation of the I-Codes. We work with the major national standards organizations including American National Standards Institute, ASTM International, ASME International, Underwriters Laboratory, National Fire Protection Association and ASHRAE. We also work closely with our founding strategic partners the National Association of Home Builders, Building Owners and Managers Association International, National Multi Housing Council, American Institute of Architects, and the American Gas Association, and have regular meetings with others such as the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, the American Concrete Institute, the Laborers International of North America, the Federation of American Scientists, USGBC and many public interest groups such as NACO, ICMA (International City/ County Management Association), National League of Cities, and the U.S. Conference of Mayors. ICC is a recognized building and fire organization among the major national fire-service groups including the International Association of Fire Chiefs, the National Association of State Fire Marshals, the National Volunteer Fire Council, the Fallen Firefighters Foundation and the Congressional Fire Services Institute. In 2010, ICC made new efforts to work with groups such as the American Public Power Association, the National Association of Realtors, and other national groups with interests in building safety, energy use, and other code-related issues. The State and Local Activities team is spread throughout the United States to better serve the organization and its members. This team is responsible for the implementation of the Code Council’s state and local goals such as securing new and retaining existing code adoptions, and raising the level of awareness of the Code Council’s infrastructure to support the jurisdictions and all users of the I-Codes. We currently have 15 staff members in 14 states. Because each office focuses on the area it serves, the staff in each region are uniquely qualified to personally assist and support our members, including the fire, plumbing, mechanical and fuel gas communities. ICC also offers a grassroots program to provide a way for ICC members and supporters to participate in building and fire safety code advocacy. Interested individuals can elect to receive alerts about important issues and can view information and submit letters and emails voicing their opinions to their elected officials. Our grassroots program includes toolkits that provide assistance in applying for energy-related grants and in adoption of the I-Codes, Adoption Maps and Charts that reflect I-Code Adoptions as well as other information relevant to legislative or rulemaking issues, all of which are available on the GR section of the ICC website.

Dep a rtme n t P u rp os e The primary role of Human Resources (HR) is to provide for the needs of the internal ICC organization, so that all organizational departments are able to effectively and efficiently provide the products and services sought by our membership. HR supports the recruitment, development, and retention of staff with the skills and knowledge required across a wide range of professional disciplines and administrative support functions; develops and administers health and welfare benefits that provide necessary care and protection of our staff and their families; and develops, updates, and administers policies that ensure all applicants, candidates, and employees are treated in an ethical and conscientious manner, and that ICC meets its social andlegal obligations. To fulfill these roles in a cost- and resourceefficient manner, the HR staff continues its engagement in initiatives leading to convenient, timely and paperless processes through electronic solutions. As a department whose services touch each and every ICC employee, it is appropriate for HR to be a role model in the internal greening of the organization’s administrative practices. 2010 has been a year of retrenchment for ICC and for HR. Following the difficult staff reductions of 2009, this past year has been one of supporting managers and staff in their need to assume new and sometimes different roles, and in learning to “do more with less.” While recruiting and hiring demands have been reduced, the HR staff has experienced increased post-workforce reduction administrative workloads such as unemployment claims, employment references and COBRA administration. HR has continued to respond to the interests and needs of current employees, this year introducing a voluntary short-term disability insurance program, and has instituted changes in our medical leave administration to ensure that changes in the reinsurance industry do not adversely affect ICC staff. HR also is responsible for ICC’s business lines of insurance and shares risk management responsibilities with the ICC General Counsel. All insurance renewals were accomplished in a timely manner, and through working closely with our brokers, premium reductions were achieved in many areas without any lessening of coverage limits. Overall, ICC experienced another excellent year in terms of risk management, with no major claims. The third major area handled by HR is that of building operations for the Whittier office. 2010 has been challenging in this area, as the facility is aging and requires frequent maintenance, while we attempt to control nonessential costs in a conservative budget year.

Dep a rtme n t P u rp os e The purpose of the Finance Department is to act as the financial steward for the organization. Our primary goal is to meet the needs of our internal customers by providing useful and timely financial information and advice. We safeguard the assets of the organization by maintaining and monitoring a system of internal controls. The Finance Department is responsible for providing our members and stakeholders with financial statements, and meeting regulatory reporting requirements of our banks and tax authorities.

A cco mp lis hme n t s We have improved the bench strength of the organization by hiring highly qualified professionals in areas where we needed to improve. In addition, we are in the process of implementing a financial services system. The new system will improve our access to timely and relevant financial information for better decision making. The system will increase operational efficiency and improve business processes. Better processes will improve customer service. The financial services system is scheduled to be operational on January 1. Ch all e ng e s The economy continues to present challenges for our business and requires prudent management of our resources. The ICC’s financial position stabilized during 2010. We have made progress in managing the working capital required to run the business. Improved asset management allows us to allocate resources to other parts of the organization including membership services.

Information Technology plays a vital role in International Code Council operations. A key priority this year continues to be our website, so our members and other customers easily can find the information they are seeking and have a positive experience interacting with the ICC website .

A cco mp lis hme n t s Last year's launch of the new website resulted in a variety of issues, so the focus earlier in the year was to address performance and stability. Early server and network infrastructure upgrades vastly improved website performance and availability, and security upgrades were accelerated after a breach forced a shutdown of the network for one week. A comprehensive study of website usability was conducted, which included user feedback from focus groups. To address the findings, a website overhaul plan was developed and executed at an accelerated pace. Major elements of the website such as the online store, membership, site search, education and training, navigation, and its look and feel were redesigned and revamped. The website’s Communities of Interest element, while designed to play an important role for members, and the community at large, is undergoing a complete revamping based on user feedback. The project team is engaged with a cross section of members and customers who are helping in the redesign and will contribute to keeping this section vibrant, active and refreshed with relevant content. Mid-year a new, much larger managed IT services provider was selected, bringing a higher level of experience and expertise. A key new feature for staff is our extended hours Helpdesk. Key objectives with our new IT support partner are improved reliability and consistency, customer satisfaction and service excellence. Our membership management system, Avectra, was upgraded to provide new functionality while making it easier and faster for our members. Also, working closely with the finance team, the Financial Services project continues at a rigorous pace.

| The team continues to support the daily IT needs of all ICC employees. All hardware and software purchases,

It has been a year now since we noted in the last Chairman’s Statement that we at ICC-Evaluation Service were “looking forward to working with John [Nosse] and Mark [Johnson] in their new roles and are confident that ICC-ES will remain a trusted technical resource for code enforcement professionals, manufacturers, and innovators both now and in the future.” Today Mark Johnson is clearly leading ES, along with a most able staff, in that direction. John Nosse is continuing to lend his expertise as a member of the ES Board of Managers. I am pleased to report that this has been a year of substantial progress, change and transformation for ES. A year in which we’ve worked hard to balance the need to deliver excellent service today with the imperative to understand and plan for the future needs and demands of our industry. It has been a year of continued work on some very important dimensions: business collaboration, innovation, creation and participation.

We have begun collaboration with several other world-class organizations to develop dual certification/evaluation programs that will provide increased value to serve all of our customers. We have seen the development of an innovative Fast Track Program, which successfully has made our services more timely for our customers and more responsive to the competitive business environment of the 21st century. We have recently completed a project to create links to our Evaluation Reports (ESRs) from within our family of International Codes as a creative new tool for regulators, specifiers, and designers. We also are just beginning to see participation by the NCSEA in the development of our structural Acceptance Criteria (AC). We trust this is just the beginning of bringing about much more participation from many technical communities. With the development and publishing of Public Versions of the International Green Construction Code (IGCC ) there are many opportunities opening up for ES to develop new tools, reports and evaluations that will be trusted technical resources for code users, manufacturers and product development pioneers. The time, energy, and resources used to make these things a reality have been planned to accomplish one very simple thing: continue building ICC-ES. Our common purpose, at all levels of the organization, has been to secure ES as the leader in evaluating existing, new, and innovative building products and to remain the trusted technical resource for code enforcement professionals, manufacturers, and innovators, both now and in the future.

In my first full year as President of ICC-ES, I have gained an even greater appreciation for the strong foundation that was laid by my predecessor, John Nosse. Stepping into the shoes of a legend like John is a daunting task, one comparable to taking the pitcher’s mound in the stead of baseball great Sandy Koufax. Taking the reins during the worst economic slump since the Great Depression has been challenging but also greatly fulfilling. I am pleased to report that despite the weakness in the economy, ICC-ES has continued to expand the breadth of its programs as well as its business and public outreach. ICC-ES serves more than 900 manufacturers, and the number of Evaluation Reports totals almost 1,500. Our primary focus is to enhance the services we offer manufacturers, while continuing to strengthen our position as the most reliable and credible product evaluation resource for code officials. In the last year, we worked diligently to enhance our customer service and reduce the turnaround time to issue evaluation reports. We also continued to maintain the highest level of technical quality and accuracy in the industry. In recognition of the importance placed by code officials on the technical merits of evaluation reports and acceptance criteria developed by ICC-ES, we continue to increase our technical staff. To better serve the needs of manufacturers, ICC-ES is partnering with major laboratories to reduce the time for product evaluations. This project began as a pilot program with two organizations and now involves seven, with many more organizations discussing how they might participate. Under these programs, often referred to as “Fast Track,” third-party organizations collaborate with ES to develop a test plan, manage a product during the testing and inspections phases, and ensure that all pertinent information is transferred to ICC-ES as a complete, well-organized package. This collaborative approach early in the evaluation process places heavy emphasis on complete preparation of data, which can significantly reduce the time needed for the issuance of a report. This new program has been received very well by manufacturers and created a buzz within the industry. To increase the exposure of our manufacturers’ code-compliant products in the market, and for the added convenience of code officials who approve the use of these products, ICC-ES Evaluation Reports (ESRs) and Plumbing, Mechanical and Fuel Gas (PMG) Listings are now linked to International Codes in a searchable electronic format available by subscription service. This means that each and every ESR and listing published by ICC-ES is now linked to the section of the code that is applicable to its use. Now, code officials, specifiers, designers and builders are just “one click away” from identifying products that have demonstrated compliance with the latest ICC codes and the standards these codes reference. As an added convenience, the link between code sections and reports is now readily available as an application for smart phones. In addition to being known for its technical expertise, ICC-ES is respected widely for the transparency and fairness of its process. We are proud of the level of public participation in ICC-ES Evaluation Committee Hearings, where Acceptance Criteria are debated and ultimately approved or rejected. Our public hearing process has no equivalent elsewhere. To further build on this foundation, which has served the building industry for more than a half century, ICC-ES has partnered with the National Council of Structural Engineers Associations to assist with the development of ICC-ES acceptance criteria that address complex structural products. We view this as a way to further involve the professional engineering community in the evaluation process, with the ultimate goal of improving the quality of building construction.36 Earlier this year, California released its first mandatory “green” code, called CALGreen and published by our parent company, ICC. Also, at the national level, ICC has been working on the release of its International Green Construction Code (IGCC), the first commercial green construction code. With the implementation of CALGreen in California, combined with the rapid acceptance of the IGCC at the national level, ICC-ES has turned its attention to supporting these new codes. In anticipation of the January 1 CALGreen effective date, we have expanded the scope of our SAVETM (Sustainable Attributes Verification and Evaluation) Program to include evaluating products for code compliance under the new code. The relatively new PMG Listing program is beginning to gain traction. This program, which was initiated only three years ago, saw a growth last year of more than 25 percent. The recent appointment of Shahin Moinian as our new Executive Director of ICC-ES Certification Programs, overseeing both the PMG Listing and SAVE programs, will provide the leadership needed to rapidly expand these programs. In addition, in July of this year, ICC-ES changed its corporate structure from one type of legal entity to another. This change was designed to deal with tax issues left over from the consolidation and did not involve any operational changes to ICC-ES’ business or to how ICC-ES does business. We believe that this change will facilitate future growth, strengthen the overall ICC family, and enable ICC-ES and ICC to provide better service to their stakeholders and customers. In closing, we look forward to ongoing growth. We continue to emphasize customer service and are always looking for ways that we can provide added value to manufacturers and code officials alike. In these difficult economic times, we realize how important it is for code officials to have the information they need to approve products, and how important it is for manufacturers to gain ready acceptance. ICC-ES is committed to helping the building industry recover and grow.

Since my election as Chairman of the Board in May of this year, I am proud to continue the fine work of my predecessor, Michael Bouse, who did an outstanding job of guiding the organization during the past year. I also am pleased to report that IAS’ international initiatives and its existing accreditation programs have made good progress this past year and enabled us to maintain financial stability in these challenging economic times. As your Chairman and speaking for the IAS Board of Directors, we are committed to maintaining our financial stability as we continue to explore new business opportunities and grow the company under the guidance of our business plan in support of ICC’s mission and strategic goals. We are sensitive to the financial burden placed on building departments nationwide as a result of the significant reduction in construction activity over the past few years. The IAS Board is pleased to report the approval and implementation of a new Building Department Registration program, which is an affordable, interim program that will recognize building departments and enable them to continue to prepare for full accreditation under the IAS Building Department Accreditation program. In addition, other recently developed accreditation programs designed to assist local governments, such as the Building Department Service Providers (Third Party), IBC Special Inspection, and Metal Building System programs, have started well this past year and hold promise for the future. I would like to thank my fellow IAS Board members as well as the very talented IAS staff for their support, hard work, and sacrifices in continuing to develop domestic and international markets. In light of the economic challenges, IAS strategically has made the necessary business decisions, which have enabled it to maintain its financial health and high quality of service. These accomplishments are a result of the dedication and hard work of these outstanding professionals. I thank our clients throughout the world for their loyalty and continued trust in our organization. Special recognition also is due to the many ICC volunteers who contribute so many hours and participate on various IAS Councils and Committees. Finally, none of IAS’ accomplishments would be possible without the guidance and full support of the ICC leadership, Board of Directors, and staff. To all, we say, thank you for a great year!

P RESIDE N T' S RE P OR T

The new decade started with IAS firmly maintaining its position as the world’s largest provider of accreditation services for the construction sector, with a solid domestic base and robust international presence through IAS’ active participation and Mutual Recognition Arrangements (MRAs) with the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC), the Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (APLAC), the International Accreditation Forum (IAF), and the Pacific Accreditation Cooperation (PAC). By the end of the year, IAS hopes to gain full recognition as an MRA signatory in PAC for its accreditation services in the product certification area. The theme of this past year has been growth through partnership, presence, and prudence. IAS has performed well financially through the first six months of 2010, generating a positive net margin. As the financial report shows, the willingness of staff in 2009 to accept salary and work-hour reductions coupled with prudent cost controls across many expense categories have contributed to IAS’ positive performance during this period. Hats off to the IAS staff for their outstanding efforts. During this continuing economic downturn, IAS is committed to holding the line on fee increases and proactively working with its clients to reduce assessment costs. Globally, IAS is benefitting from the expanding presence of the International Code Council (ICC) and recognition of the U.S. code administration system as an international “best practice.” To promote the U.S. best practices, the International Codes encourage full communication and collaboration between the public and private sectors to achieve the greatest efficiency and construction quality at the lowest cost to the public. This system is most effective and credible when there is third-party verification, namely by an accreditation body like IAS, for both the public- and private-sector agencies’ performance to internationally recognized standards of quality. IAS fills this role in both the U.S. and, increasingly, in the global market. IAS is actively engaged with several governments outside the U.S. to assist their code enforcement agencies to adapt IAS’ Building Department and Special Inspection Agency accreditation standards to their national regulations. For testing laboratories and inspection agencies, IAS accreditation to quality standards published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is broadly accepted. IAS’ global clientele expanded nearly 10 percent in 2010, with expansion to a presence in 21 countries, with the greatest growth being in the Middle East. Within North America, IAS established a new accreditation program in 2008 for the Inspection of Manufacturers of Metal Building Systems. With the full support of the Metal Building Manufacturer’s Association, this program has grown to be IAS’ second-largest accreditation program. Another affiliation that has lead to a business opportunity is the recently established partnership with the Center for Public Safety Excellence on a new accreditation program for Fire Prevention and Life Safety Departments. The program is another example of IAS’ deep commitment to the concept of safety in the built environment. IAS’ Testing Laboratory and Special Inspection Agency accreditation programs have grown substantially through partnerships with building departments and marketing in industry publications. IAS Board, committee and council members, and dedicated staff have made concerted efforts to open lines of communication with a wide variety of stakeholders to explore new partnerships and opportunities. Safety coupled with sustainability is the message that is being carried far and wide, with IAS assessors and technical experts spreading the accreditation slogan to many countries in the world. My special thanks to former IAS Board chairman Michael Bouse and current chairman John Barrios for their unflinching support and loyalty to IAS, and the ICC leadership, particularly its CEO, Richard P. Weiland, for his untiring efforts to propagate the use of effective construction code-enforcement systems throughout the world. The continued loyalty and active support provided by our valued clients has truly boosted staff morale, and I take this opportunity to thank them all. To all our clients and well wishers, I extend the very best wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving and an enjoyable Holiday Season.

Despite the effects of economic recession within the United States and in many other parts of the globe, IAS has been able to steadily increase its business in most of the accreditation programs it offers. This is illustrated in the 2009 financial performance charts below:

### IAS ANNUAL R EP O RT 2010 (con t .)

There have been some exciting developments in IAS’ accreditation programs. During the winter months, the International Fire Door Inspectors Association, a trade association for fire door inspectors, became the first accredited training and curriculum developer for annual fire door inspection under NFPA Standard 80-2007 requirements. Also, Underwriters Laboratories’ (UL) test facility in San Jose, California, became the first laboratory to be IAS accredited to test products for compliance with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ENERGY STAR requirements. In addition, Israel Berger & Associates became the first special inspection agency in New York City to become IAS accredited, and the Beaufort County Inspection and Code Enforcement Department became the first accredited building department in South Carolina. In June 2010, it was announced that the IAS accreditation program for testing laboratories met the California Department of Transportation requirements for laboratories involved in testing reinforcement splices used in concrete. Later, the Clark County, Nevada, Department of Development Services – Building Division formally recognized the IAS Fabricator Inspection Programs for Structural Steel (AC172) and the Inspection Programs for Manufacturers of Metal Building Systems (AC472). IAS is viewed domestically and globally as a leader in conformity assessment, and staff is often asked to participate in and present at industry gatherings. IAS presented a service award to the outgoing president of the ICC Los Angeles Basin Chapter at the chapter’s Annual Installation Banquet in January 2010. IAS’ active participation in ICC chapters helps enhance code officials’ knowledge of international conformity assessment practices, thus assisting them to implement measurable quality objectives in enforcement of the codes. In the spring, IAS exhibited at the annual Measurement Science Conference (MSC) in Pasadena, California. MSC is a national association of measurement scientists working in the aerospace and defense industries. IAS has sponsored several technical sessions in previous Measurement Science Conferences. Also, IAS exhibited at the Los Angeles Chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council’s 9th Annual Municipal Green Building Conference and Expo, in Downey, California. For several years now, IAS has supported the need for a national U.S. focus on sustainability, and created accreditation programs to bring competence and efficiency in this critical field. On June 9, IAS celebrated World Accreditation Day, a worldwide initiative jointly established by the International Accreditation Forum and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation. Also in June, IAS participated in the Pacific Accreditation Cooperation's 2010 plenary meeting in Wellington, New Zealand. During this same month, the National Association of Testing Authorities’ CEO, Alan Patterson, met with IAS in Whittier, California. IAS metrology staff participated in the July 2010 National Conference of Standards Laboratories International annual conference, which addressed “21st Century Innovations in Metrology.” Our existing and potential clients increasingly request training on quality management principles and international standards for accreditation. In December, 2009, March, 2010 and May, 2010, IAS conducted several training sessions in New York city on the AC291 criteria for Special Inspection Agency Accreditation. In May, IAS offered training on ISO/IEC Standard 17025:2005 in Washington, D.C., and in August on ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems. Training on Measurement Uncertainty was provided in September. IAS is committed to transparency in its accreditation proceedings. In October 2009, the IAS Accreditation Committee met in Norwalk, California, where several existing IAS accreditation criteria were revised, and a detailed discussion was held on starting a new registration program for building departments. At this event, committee members were briefed on the IAS quality management system and other operational matters.42 This past May was a busy month for IAS staff, directors, and committee and council members, during which a “committee week” was held. During that week, the Accreditation Committee, chaired by William Dumbaugh of Broward County Board of Rules and Appeals, Florida, held hearings on proposed changes to several IAS accreditation criteria. CPSE’s chief executive officer Paul Brooks gave a presentation on the proposed joint accreditation program for Fire Prevention and Life Safety Departments between IAS and the Center for Public Safety Excellence. The committee was also briefed on the recent evaluation by Pacific Accreditation Cooperation of IAS' product certification agency (PLA) program. Also, the committee reviewed all PCA documents. A large number of attendees, including representatives from Canada, Mexico, Egypt, and Japan, attended the hearings. IAS is the only accreditation body in the world to provide a public forum for discussion of technical issues related to accreditation, and several participants congratulated the organization for maintaining such transparency in its operations. In addition, three of IAS’ Technical Advisory Councils (TACs) met. The TAC for Inspection Agency and Special Inspection Agency Accreditation, chaired by Dr. Craig Joss of Bridgeport, Pennsylvania, reviewed the extensive changes to the IAS accreditation criteria, AC291 for Special Inspection Agencies, based on New York city requirements for new special inspection disciplines. The TAC for testing and calibration laboratories, chaired by IAS Chief Technical Officer Patrick McCullen, had record participation of 15 members, including four international representatives from Canada, Egypt, Mexico, and Japan. IAS’ newest TAC for Fire Prevention Departments met for the first time. This council is chaired by former California State Fire Marshal Chief Ronny Coleman. The major task assigned to this TAC is development of proposed accreditation criteria for fire prevention and life safety entities for consideration by the IAS Accreditation Committee in the fall of 2010. During the last two days of the week, the spring meeting of the IAS Board of Directors was held under the chairmanship of John Barrios, Construction Services Manager for the City of Tampa, Florida. The board discussed IAS’ financial performance in 2009 and the first quarter of 2010, and the proposed 2011-2015 Business Plan. The board was briefed on the peer evaluation of IAS by the Pacific Accreditation Cooperation. IAS is looking forward to another great year at the ICC Annual Conference. During last year’s annual conference, held in Baltimore, Maryland, the IAS Board met, IAS participated in the “Cracker Barrel” event to promote its programs, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Saudi Building Code National Committee for technical assistance, and delivered a three-day training program for lead evaluators involved in IAS’ building department accreditation. None of the above achievements would be possible without IAS’ great staff. In the fall of 2009, Pat McCullen and Raj Nathan were promoted to the positions of Vice President – Chief Technical Officer and Vice President of Operations, respectively. Concurrently, several other staff members were promoted in recognition of their outstanding contributions, (Hershal Brewer, Ronald Coiner, Virginia Corcoran, Sandi McCracken, John Pakianadan, and Prasanth Ramakrishnan). In June 2010, Preet Bassi, M.P.A., was hired as the new quality manager for IAS. Ms. Bassi previously worked for Anaheim, California, Building Division and had served on numerous IAS building department evaluation teams.

D E p a rtme n t P u rp os e The International Code Council Foundation (ICCF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting ideas, methods, and technologies that encourage the construction of safe and sustainable buildings, including homes, and at identifying those approaches that alleviate the devastating effects of natural disasters and other building tragedies.All of the Foundation’s program areas focus on communitybased opportunities to better connect code officials to their constituencies and foster increased consumer understanding of codes and mitigation, by supporting the building and fire code professions through expanded training, education, and independent research.

A cc o mp li s hme n t s - Overv i ew & Hig h li g ht s
C onsu mer Educa t ion The signature consumer education program of the Foundation is Building Safety Month. The year 2010 marked an important milestone in national and global efforts to promote building safety as the ICCF expanded the scope and reach of its signature building-safety initiative, Building Safety Week. Thirty years after the first commemoration of Building Safety Week, ICCF took on a broader education and outreach challenge by launching a more comprehensive campaign—Building Safety Month. In discussing the direction the campaign should take for its 30 th anniversary, ICCF leadership tapped into ICC member insights that revealed while safety would continue to be a key concern, it also was important to address sustainability and resiliency. This would in turn mean looking at building safety from a community-wide perspective, highlighting what communities as a whole could do, as well as protection of individual structures and those living and working in them. As a result the decision was made to expand the campaign from a week to a month and from just one or two themes to four themes. Each theme was highlighted over the course of a week.

WEEK 1: Energy and Green Building WEEK 2: Disaster Safety and Mitigation WEEK 3: Fire Awareness and Safety WEEK 4: Backyard Safety Based on this new approach, the first Building Safety Month was a highly successful effort:

• It was engaging . A newly redesigned Building Safety Month

website provided consumer tips and links to resources keyed to the four themes, as well as easy access to photos, proclamations, a children’s program and the complete toolkit of resources for ICC chapters. For example, nearly 2,000 people signed up on the Building Safety Month website to pledge their support, and the campaign now has more than 300 Facebook fans and Twitter followers.

• It was visible

. National coverage included a CNN feature on

Backyard Safety Week, coverage of all four themes on Danny Lipford’s nationally syndicated radio show, featuring guests from Millennium Sponsor BASF and the ICC, and nearly 500 news stories about the event.

• It was informative

. More than 30,000 visitors spent time

on the website to learn more about the issues, and a strong library of tips and suggestions continues to be accessible in print and online.

• It was fun. Code officials CODiE TM and CODEtte TM hosted

games for kids and the adults who attended community events and movies. A fun time was had by all.

• And most importantly, it built a foundation for the future

.

The month-long campaign concept is now tested and in place, backed by more than 70 proclamations, declarations, and letters of recognition from governors, mayors and public officials. The website is built and ready to be augmented during the coming year and in the years to follow. The toolkit is in place for implementation and additional activity at the local level. The buzz has been felt, the momentum is there, and ICCF can look forward to further successes in 2011 and beyond.46 P r o fe ssional Deve lo pme n t Another important Foundation initiative is our expanded scholarship program to support building and fire safety through the education of existing and future code officials, by increasing participation in the code development process and honoring those who have been essential to the formation of the ICC. The Code of Honor Scholarship program helps underwrite professional development for Code Council members by expanding participation and training at the Final Action Hearings. In 2010, the Foundation awarded 63 Code of Honor Scholarships to ICC members. Donations for the Code of Honor Scholarship Program may be made online via a secure website link at www.icc-foundation.org. Chapters and jurisdictions are encouraged to support this initiative.

C o mm uni t y Serv ic e The signature community service initiative for the Foundation is Project H.E.R.O., a program of the Code Officials Volunteer CORPS. Project H.E.R.O. is an innovative program that improves the lives of disabled veterans by combining the volunteer spirit and expertise of the Code Council and Foundation with the home rehabilitation expertise of the nonprofit group, Rebuilding Together (www.rebuildingtogether.org). Some of the Foundation programs overlap focus areas. One such program is the 2009-2010 Tornado Outreach and Education initiative. This program combines consumer education and professional development. This program will raise awareness and understanding about the threats of severe weather and the proper building techniques for tornado shelters. The Foundation is currently promoting the construction of tornado safe rooms based on the NSSA/ICC 500 Standard for the Design and Construction of Storm Shelters and FEMA 320 through a three-phase project. The first phase includes quantitative and qualitative research to identify opportunities to promote tornado safe rooms to consumer and professional audiences. The second phase includes development of a plan focused on national television outreach. The final phase includes completing an outreach and marketing toolkit to help homebuilders and safe room manufacturers/distributors leverage research findings to accelerate the construction of compliant safe rooms. The research phase of the project is complete, and outreach to national media is underway. Campaign outcomes to date include a morning of live television remote broadcasts with Jim Cantore of The Weather Channel showcasing safe room performance during a dedicated “Tornado Week” that took place in April.

## Annual Business Meeting
President Adolf Zubia called the Annual Meeting of the Members of the International Code Council to order at 8:08 a.m., November 3, 2009, in conjunction with ICC’s Annual Conference at the Hilton Baltimore in Baltimore, Maryland. President Zubia called on Secretary/Treasurer James Brothers to call the roll of the ICC Directors to determine if there was a quorum. Secretary/Treasurer Brothers called the roll of Directors and asked Governmental Member Representatives to stand. Secretary/ Treasurer Brothers then advised the President that a quorum was present. President Zubia acknowledged Bill Bryant, Anne Arundel County, MD, as the Parliamentarian; and appointed Terry Cobb, Nashville, TN, as Sergeant-at-Arms, and thanked them for their participation. President Zubia called on Chief Operating Officer Dominic Sims to provide an explanation on the use of the electronic keypads for voting. A test of the electronic keypads was conducted. President Zubia referred to the registration packets containing a copy of the business agenda for the 7th Annual Business Meeting of the members of the International Code Council. Included in the packet was the International Code Council 2009 Annual Business and Meeting Report, which detailed a notice of the Annual Business Meeting, minutes of the 2008 Annual Business Meeting, procedures governing the conduct of elections, Treasurer’s report, and proposed bylaws and resolutions. Since the report included the Meeting Notice, President Zubia waived reading the notice. A motion was made and seconded to amend and reorder the agenda of the Annual Business meeting, as provided. The minutes of the September 16, 2008 Annual Business Meeting were reviewed. A motion was made and seconded to approve the minutes, as published in the Annual Report. President Zubia called on Secretary/Treasurer Brothers to provide the Treasurer’s Report. Secretary/Treasurer of the International Code Council Brothers provided the financial status of the ICC as reported in the Annual Business Report. 

## 2009 Treasurer’s Report
As Secretary/Treasurer of the International Code Council, it is my privilege to report to the members on the financial status of the organization. As you are quite aware, the economic climate in 2008 was challenging. The Code Council was affected by the downturn, as we saw our net assets reduced by $7.1 million. Let me assure you that as the economic events of 2008 unfolded, your management team and Board acted quickly to address the reduced revenues the Code Council experienced. Despite this difficult year, we ended in a strong financial position. As we have reported in prior years, a major objective has been to increase our cash balance to a level where we have a “contingency buffer” to provide us with funds that we can draw from in the event of an economic or cyclical downturn. Obviously, 2008 was just such an event. Our strong performance in prior years regarding cash management allowed us to weather the storm, and end the year with a cash balance of $8.6 million, down $5.9 million from 2007.During 2009, we will continue our focus on building an adequate cash position so we can continue investing in membershipenhancing opportunities. Actively managing accounts receivable and inventory during a time of reduced publication revenue is of critical importance. As a percentage, inventory and receivables total less than 18% of total revenue for the fourth consecutive year. Total revenue of $64.5 million dollars represents a 16% decrease compared to 2007, with virtually all the decline coming from lower publication sales, a decrease of $11.5 million, or 29%. Operating expenses increased 1%, but have been significantly reduced in 2009 through reductions in staff and infrastructure to address the reduced publication sales. Thank you for allowing me to serve as your Secretary/Treasurer and I look forward to continuing to serve the organization in the years ahead. A motion was made and seconded to accept the Secretary/Treasurer’s report. President Zubia called on CEO Richard P. Weiland to provide the CEO’s Report. CEO Weiland addressed the membership. President Zubia called on John Nosse, President Emeritus of ICC Evaluation Service. Mr. Nosse provided a report on ICC-ES. President Zubia called on Chuck Ramani, President of International Accreditation Service. Mr. Ramani provided a report on IAS. President Zubia provided the President’s Report. A motion was made and seconded to accept the President’s Report.51 President Zubia reviewed the proposed bylaws amendments. The following amendments as printed in the Annual Report were presented to the membership: Amendment 1-2009: A motion was made and seconded to divide the question. The motion passed.

14.2 In demnification in Actions by Third Parties - The Corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, any proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, an action brought under Section 5233 of the California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation Law, or an action brought by the Attorney General or a person granted relator status by the Attorney General for any breach of duty relating to the assets held in charitable trust) by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of the Corporation, against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Corporation and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of such person was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation or that the person had reasonable cause to believe that the person's conduct was unlawful.
14.3 In demnification in Actions by or in the Right of the Corporation - The Corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right of the Corporation, or brought under Section 5233 of the California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation Law, or brought by the Attorney General or a person granted relator status by the Attorney General for breach of duty relating to assets held in charitable trust, to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of the Corporation, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action if such person acted in good faith, in a manner such person believed to be in the best interest of the Corporation, and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. No indemnification shall be made under this Section 14.3:

(a) In respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation in the performance of such person's duty to the Corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such proceeding is or was pending shall determine upon application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses which such court shall determine; (b) Of amounts paid in settling or otherwise disposing of a threatened or pending action, with or without court approval; or (c) Of expenses incurred in defending a threatened or pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of without court approval unless it is settled with the approval of the Attorney General.
14.4 In demnification Against Expenses - To the extent that an agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits in defense of any proceeding referred to in Sections 14.2 or 14.3 of these Bylaws or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, the agent shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the agent in connection therewith.
14.5 Re quired Determinations - Except as provided in Section 14.4 of these Bylaws, any indemnification under this Article XIV shall be made by the Corporation only if authorized in the specific case, upon a determination that indemnification of the agent is proper in the circumstances because the agent has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 14.2 or 14.3 of these Bylaws, by:

(a) A majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors who are not parties to such proceeding; or (b) Th e court in which such proceeding is or was pending upon application made by the Corporation or the agent or the attorney or other person rendering services in connection with the defense, whether or not such application by the agent, attorney, or other person is opposed by the Corporation.
