Rodgers Presented Prestigious Fowler Award
Emory Rodgers (center), Deputy Director of the Building and Fire Regulation Division of the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development, was presented the prestigious Bobby J. Fowler Award during today's Awards Luncheon by Code Council Board President Adolf Zubia (left) and Board member/Awards Committee Chairman James Ryan.

The Fowler Award, which honors the memory of the first chairman of the International Code Council Board of Directors, is given to an individual whose contributions to the building safety industry advance the Code Council's goals in achieving a safer built environment. Particular emphasis is placed on the recipient's holistic view in achieving the stated goal and displays a focus beyond local or regional concerns to issues and activities that span the globe.

For more than 30 years, Rodgers has worked tirelessly in the name of public safety in the Commonwealth of Virginia and nationwide. As an ICC Board member, he played a major role in helping guide the Council through its earliest stages, and remains a staunch supporter and advocate of I-Code adoptions.

"At Code Hearings, you will usually find him sitting in the front row, often late into the evening," Awards Committee Chairman Tim Ryan said during the presentation.

Rodgers is a past president of the legacy model code organization Building Officials and Code Administrators and the Virginia Building and Code Officials Association.

"This award, in my estimation, is the crowning achievement of any professional," said Rodgers. "If I can do it, you can do it, and I challenge you to work toward those goals, to work toward an inclusive organization, one that is pragmatic in its dealings and brings together all the viewpoints for the best codes for the safe, built environment."
