International Code Council CEO Dominic Sims was appointed by the American National Standards Institute Executive Committee as a member of the group’s National Policy Committee. The policy committee is in charge of broad-based policy and position decisions regarding national standards development process matters, government regulations and public policy issues.
Sims said it is “an honor” to be a member of the committee and to represent the interests of building safety professionals. “ICC develops several American national standards in accordance with ANSI’s Essential Requirements and has a great deal of respect for the work of the policy committee,” Sims added. “More than 1,500 standards are referenced in our international codes that act as a critical means for those standards to have a real impact on commerce.”
