A chapter for Latin America, based in Bogotá.
The chapter is the first instrument of our Membership platform and the starting point of our work with the International Code Council: a community of professionals, authorities and companies around the I-Codes.
Training and membership from day one.
- A mechanism the ICC already has in place. ICC policy recognizes Global Chapters for organizations outside the United States.
- Training now. Through the Chapter Education Benefit, the Chapter Leadership Academy and member discounts on ICC products.
- A growing membership. A chapter requires ICC members and creates incentives for professionals, authorities and companies to join.
- Accountability under ICC rules. Annual reports and a code of ethics from the start.
