ABOUT THE CONSULTATIVE COUNCIL

The Consultative Council is comprised of elected NIBS members, the chairs of NIBS’ councils and committees, and a board member chair. The Council:

  • Provides a communication avenue between NIBS’ members and its Board;
  • Provides a forum for coordination among NIBS’ councils and committees;
  • Provides a vehicle for identifying state and local building community needs;
  • Provides a building community advisory function to NIBS projects and programs;
  • Fosters technology transfer among the building community and NIBS programs;
  • Provides a consensus forum for the building community; and
  • Operates and maintains a consensus process for Board assigned NIBS projects.

An active state chapter of NIBS -- the Ohio Council -- meets bimonthly at various locations throughout the state. The Council addresses the numerous state and local building regulatory issues and monitors the activities of the Ohio Board of Building Standards that administers the Ohio Basic Building Code.
