NEW changes for 2009

Beginning January 2009, the Code Council will significantly change its membership structure.

  • Cooperating and Professional Member categories will combine into one new Building Safety Professional category, with a reduced rate of $100.
  • Corporate Member categories will rise to $350.
  • Educational institutes and public benefit nonprofit associations will be covered under a new Corporate membership of just $175.
  • Federal Agency/Representative distinctions will fall under the Governmental Member category.
