Hello ICC Chapter Leaders!

2026 has kicked off to a great start for ICC Training and our Chapter partners. Let’s keep the momentum going! As of May 31, Training staff has provided 37 Chapter Education Benefit classes this year—more than one per week. And we’ve already scheduled 18 more events for the rest of the year. Our Chapter leaders have been great about giving us at least 60 days of lead time to prepare your training events. Keep up the good work!

Also, have you considered using our complimentary preregistration links? Training staff can provide you with a link you can share with your members. The link allows us to help you track the number of attendees or provide email addresses for communication. A preregistration link also ensures the attendee has a myICC account where their CEus can be applied. Ask your Seminar Coordinator for details.

We’re looking forward to the ICC Annual Conference and Expo in Nashville TN, October 18-21. Training is arranging tours, Expo Talks and Insight Sessions in addition to the traditional Education Program. All these events are eligible for CEUs. Click here for more information.

Make plans to stay in Nashville an extra day…

Training will host a When Disaster Strikes Train the Trainer event on Wednesday, October 21 and Thursday, October 22. Space is limited, so let us know as soon as possible if you wish to receive an invitation. This event is essential for Chapters who have been granted licensing for the When Disaster Strikes – Evaluator materials. Two instructors from your Chapter need to attend a Train the Trainer session. Need more information on how to license the material for your Chapter? Contact me at kphiggs@iccsafe.org.

Lastly, have you heard about the ICC Technical Training Program?

The TTP is designed to introduce high school and college students to construction codes. The program has been introducing young people to the International Residential Code© for years; now the courses include IRC Basics, IRC Essentials, IBC Basics and IBC Essentials. Chapters often provide an invaluable introduction to school instructors who could benefit from the TTP curriculum. Alex Kerr, Manager of Next Generation Training, is available to speak with your board or Chapter, either in person or online as his schedule allows. If you’re interested in having him speak to your group, contact him at amkerr@iccsafe.org.
