Welcome to our redesigned website. Our webmaster DJ Korson’s hard work has made this possible and we are finally updated to new, supported web software. If you have any suggestions or have difficulty navigating the site, please contact us. There has been a change in our officers. Adam Gilbert is no longer able to continue as 1st Vice President. Adam was a casualty of a staff reduction at the City of Sparks. Adam is not alone in these layoffs, as the construction industry continues to falter and jurisdictional budgets decline. Our members will continue to be affected as building departments downsize. I extend my sympathies to all our members who have lost their livelihood and my sincere hope that they will be able to secure employment elsewhere. With reduced budgets at most jurisdictions training monies are hard to find. Inspectors and plans examiners are mandated by state law and the organizations that certify them to have recognized training hours. The chapter is trying to provide as much low cost training as we can. We had an excellent turnout for our free energy seminar in March. There is a Building Science class funded by CertainTeed Corporation scheduled for June 25th. We should have confirmation soon on a 2006 IBC code analysis and review class from Won-Door in July. We are also looking at speakers for our monthly luncheons that are able to provide continuing education units. The chapter also has a credit for a free training day from ICC. This ICC training will be set up later in the year and depending on whether we piggyback on the free day for a reduced cost additional training day, will be free or at a greatly reduced price. Our chapter is still relatively strong financially and since the jurisdictions have supported us through the years, I believe that it is the chapter’s duty to return the favor in these tough times. For the foreseeable future we have suspended our policy of trying to make a modest profit on our seminars. We will try to cover costs and as sometimes happened in the past, actually subsidize certain classes. I’ve said in previous messages, we are all in this together. Our individual actions affect the whole. Our perception by the public and even our own councils and commissioners is directly related to the degree of professionalism that we exhibit. Part of that professionalism is proficiency in our trade. The chapter will continue to focus on providing code education and promoting professionalism. Your participation is key to maintaining this mission. Mike McCullogh
