IAS Board Member Majed Dabdoub Honored by OBOA and SWOBOA

IAS Board Member Majed Dabdoub was recently recognized for eight years of outstanding service on the International Accreditation Service (IAS) Board of Directors.

ICC and IAS membership and clients are extremely grateful for the leadership and hard work of Majed while serving on the IAS Board of Directors.

Dabdoub was honored before his local chapter, the Southwestern Ohio Building Officials Association (SWOBOA) and his state chapter, the Ohio Building Officials Association (OBOA), at a special joint meeting in Cincinnati, Ohio. Dabdoub served on both boards as well as his legacy model code organization, the Building Officials and Code Administrators, Inc. He is the Sr. Plans Examiner for the City of Cincinnati, Ohio.
