ICC's Sims Named to
ANSI National Policy Committee
International Code Council (ICC) Chief Executive
Officer Dominic Sims, CBO, has been appointed by the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Executive
Committee as a member of the institute's National Policy
Committee. The committee is responsible for broad-based
policy and position decisions regarding national standards
development process issues, government relations and
public policy issues.
"It is an honor to serve as a member of this committee
and represent the interests of building safety profession-
als in creating standards development policy," Sims said.
"More than 1,500 standards are referenced in our Interna-
tional Codes that act as a critical means for those standards
to have a real impact on commerce."
Sims has held numerous positions in the building safety
community since 1983, both elected and appointed at the
federal, state and local levels. Prior to his work with the
Code Council, Sims served as the CEO of the Southern
Building Code Congress International and guided its
consolidation with two other regional code organizations
that formed the ICC in 2003.
