Foundation Attends International Builders Show
Team members from the International Code Council Foundation (ICCF) found an attentive audience with builders, suppliers and media companies alike at the 2011 Builders' Show from January 12-15 in Orlando, Florida. ICCF staff waged a full court press with the more than 50,000 attendees and exhibitors who expressed genuine interest in ICCF's signature event, Building Safety Month. In addition to having the Foundation's materials at the ICC booth, team members spent hours walking the floor of the show spreading the word about the importance of Building Safety Month.
