Presidents Message

It is both an Honor and a Privilege to serve as President of The Massachusetts Building Commissioners and Inspectors Association as it celebrates 70 years of providing quality education to its members.

When I became a member in 1986 I was looking for a place where I could get educated on Codes, new materials and issues faced daily by all Building Officials. I am please to say that the MBCIA has provided me that that and much more. We are always facing new challenges within our profession, whether it was budget cuts, regionalization, adoption of new codes or legislative issues we cannot succeed without the help of all Building Officials.

I am also proud to represent you as a Chapter President of the International Code Council. As you know we have been working toward an un-amended building code for the commonwealth and have been working with the ICC and the Fire service on the proposed Eighth edition of the building code. Sincerely,

James M. Kennedy
President
