IICRC News: June 2016: Meetings & Consensus Bodies

IICRC
June 9, 2016

Successful Meetings in Atlanta

On April 9, the IICRC’s Certification Council meeting welcomed more than 60 school administrators, instructors and allied affiliates to the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center in Atlanta. In addition to reports by IICRC Committee Chairs and leadership, the Certification Council was addressed by Lew Migliore, president of LGM and Associates, on the current state of carpet manufacturing for carpet inspectors and cleaners.

John North, president of Moisture Mapper International Inc., presented current information on the insurance industry and its impact on fire and water damage restoration and mitigation schools and instructors. The well-attended and well-received Certification Council meeting highlighted the effort by Chairman Pete Duncanson, and the IICRC Board of Directors to confirm their commitment to open communication and transparency with all industry constituents. 

Following the Certification Council meeting, the IICRC’s Journal of Cleaning, Restoration & Inspection held its first IICRC Technical Conference. The conference and symposium, jointly sponsored by the Cleaning Industry Research Institute (CIRI), gathered industry experts and panel speakers to discuss restoration and remediation, and allow attendees to observe firsthand the inner workings of the industry’s certification and standards-writing organization.

Also held at the hotel, the IICRC Board of Directors meeting welcomed several new instructors and shared exciting announcements. Doug Heiferman was appointed to take Peter Crosa’s vacated board position. Jessika James will fill Doug Heiferman’s honorary board position.
