Tom Frost, Senior Vice President of Technical Services for the International Code Council has announced his plans to retire at the end of this year. Frost has served ICC and the legacy organization Building Officials and Code Administrators International for the past 37 years. He was named ICC's Senior Vice President of Technical Services in 2002 and held several positions, including Vice President of Engineering Services, Manager of Research and Evaluation, Manager of Technical Services, and Staff Architect. He also served in a variety of staff liaison positions including the Occupancy Drafting Committee for the International Building Code and staff liaison to the ICC Standards Council.
"Tom has had an extraordinary career at the Code Council and he will leave an indelible mark on our association, especially in the area of code development," said International Code Council Chief Executive Officer Dominic Sims, CBO. "His leadership has been vital in the ongoing development of the International Codes and accompanying standards that are the core of our mission."
Frost was honored at ICC's 2015 Annual Conference in Long Beach, Calif., which included a special video that showcased highlights from his career. "It's been a terrific job," Frost said during the Networking Luncheon at the Conference. "I never really have a bad day. While I look forward to retirement, I have no doubt that I'm going to miss this experience in ways that I cannot anticipate."
Mike Pfeiffer, current Deputy Senior Vice President of Technical Services, will assume Frost's position when he retires at the end of the year. "Tom's professionalism has been admired and respected by many, particularly his continued focus on the future needs of the Technical Services division," Sims continued. "I have every confidence that Mike and the rest of our technical staff will continue the high standards of quality, professionalism and support for ICC Members that Tom established."
Added Frost: "I look forward to turning the reins over to Mike Pfeiffer, who is probably the most qualified person I know for the task." |
