I am starting a topic to provide a place to concentrate on Association naming suggestions.

Add your new suggestions to the end of this message. I added a few as an example. If anyone finds suggestions from another post that I missed, feel free to cut and paste. So far, I have the following suggestions in red from previous posts:

International Association of Professional Code Enforcement Officials

International Association of Professional Home Inspectors (not a good fit)

International Association of Professional Building Code Officials

International Association of Professional Building Inspectors

International Association of Professional Officials and Code Bureaucrats and Businessmen

I'm A Poster On the Code Bulletin Board

Codes and Standards Association

Independent Code and Standards Users Group

Independent Code Officials

Independent Code Officials Association
 
Re: Association naming suggestions

Been thinking about this. I cut my teeth in BOCA land. But I do really like International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO) as a association title.
 
Re: Association naming suggestions

In retrospect perhaps rjj is right. I do still like ICBO but perhaps "international" has a bad conotation?
 
Re: Association naming suggestions

International Associations are welcoming for other countries such as Canada, Dubai, UK and other code progressive countries. Look at the IAEI for electrical inspectors which has a very strong Canadian membership. Don't limit yourself.
 
Re: Association naming suggestions

How about... the 'Building Code Message Board'? It's already noticeably more successful than the new ICC BB!
 
Re: Association naming suggestions

If anyone is suggesting names, please make sure that there is at the very least a .org website available for the name you would prefer
 
Re: Association naming suggestions

Since some of us are not yet code officials or building officials I like the "Codes and Standards Association"

Or Codes and Standards Organization.

Or International Codes and Standards Organization.
 
Re: Association naming suggestions

The FFCWIAECAPR.

I bet FFCWIAECAPR.com is even available.

(Forum for communication with inspectors, architects, engineers, contractors and plan reviewers)
 
Re: Association naming suggestions

Still a true fan -- even if I have to use a sippy cup this year :(

BCMBA Sounds good to me - Bldg. Code Message Board Association -

Don't have any other agenda except for maintiaing an open forum for Building Code, Contract issues, and general info discussions.

Well at least a dawg had the SEC record for rushing touchdowns at the start of the season.
 
Re: Association naming suggestions

How about "Friends and Bureaucrats with Common Sense" [FBCS] :geek:
