Fellow Members,
 
It is an honor and a privilege to serve as LanCode president for 2008. My job has been made much easier by the dedication and hard work of the board of directors and the past presidents, Don Forry and Skip Cross. I thank them all for their efforts.

The mission of LanCode is to provide training and educational opportunities to all our members, including code officials, design professionals, contractors, BCO's, third party agencies, and anyone who is involved in code administration and enforcement. The LanCode leadership is always looking for input from the membership as to any training opportunities that are available.
 
We are fortunate to have a strong organization to help further our knowledge and grow as a code professional. Moreover, professionalism promotes a favorable image of code officials throughout the county and the state.
 
Since its beginning in 2002 LanCode has seen the Uniform Construction Code (UCC) has come to Pennsylvania and the enactment of the International Codes, a code cycle change, and various amendments to the UCC, including the foundation anchor bolt code change. The LanCode membership is a vital tool and is committed in its effort to insure safe and sustainable communities in which we live and serve.

As we progress through 2008 I look forward to your help as we endeavor to expand the benefits LanCode provides to each of our members
 
Respectfully submitted,
Andrew W. Nelson
