CONFERENCE COMMITTEE

The Executive Board has decided to create a Conference Committee to explore the desirability/feasibility of sponsoring a state wide educational Code Enforcement Conference.

As we all know funds are tight and few code officials have the opportunity to attend the national AACE conference or go to the University of Wisconsin at Madison. As an alternative there are a number of organizations that hold very well attended and successful state conferences.

The Committee will be charged with determining the feasibility of holding a state wide conference and report their findings to the Executive Board who will than decide weather or not to proceed. If the Board decides to proceed than the Committee will become the organizing body for the conference.

Bill Donovan (2nd Vice-President) is Committee Chairperson with John Edwards (Sergeant-At-Arms) as Vice-Chairperson. We are looking for volunteers from the membership for this Committee. If you are interested please contact Bill Donovan or John Edwards (contact information is on the web site).

Some of the questions to be addressed by the Committee will be:

• Membership response (do they want it).
• Location (central or northwest).
• Cost (how much will municipalities be willing to pay).
• IACE sponsored or co-sponsored (with ICCA or other organizations).

From the general membership we need you to find out if your municipality would:

• Send their people to such an event.
• Would they send them for just one day or multiple days?
• What is their cost threshold?

This is your chance to get in on the ground floor of what may be the beginning of a new period of growth and transformation of your organization into a truly statewide entity.

Bill Donovan
2nd Vice-President
