Weiland Leaving ICC International Code Council (ICC) Chief Executive Officer Rick Weiland is leaving the association to pursue other opportunities. Weiland has been CEO since 2006, after serving as chief operat- ing officer from 2003 to 2006. The announcement was made in mid-Septem- ber, but no date for Weiland's departure was specified. Dominic Sims, CBO, ICC executive vice president and director of operations, will serve as acting CEO while the Code Council conducts an international search for Weiland's successor. During his tenure at the Code Council, Weiland was instrumental in guiding the organization through the critical early years after the 2003 consolidation of three regional code organizations. Weiland forged new partnerships and alliances that expanded the Code Council's influence, and he successfully led ICC through the difficult times brought on by the recession in 2008. Under Weiland's leadership, the Code Council developed the nation's first green construction code, expanded its reach to create a global presence, and embarked on a series of initiatives to embrace the digital age and develop online products for designers, builders and regulators. "Serving as COO and CEO of the Code Council has been an incredibly rewarding chapter in my career and I am proud of the progress we have been able to make to advance public safety over the last decade," said Weiland. 10 STORM&SEcURITY PROTEcTION / PEOPLE IN THE KNOW 2012
