BUILDING SAFETY MONTH
Each year the ICC encourages jurisdictions around the country to celebrate Building Safety Month. One way to recognize building safety month is through the approval of a Building Safety Proclamation by local government officials. NMCOA, as an organization has approved a proclamation recognizing it members for the important role each one plays within their communities to assure safe and code compliant construction. NMCOA Building Safety Month Proclamations from 2022 to present are posted below. Member jurisdictions are encouraged to put together a Building Safety Month proclamation to take to your local officials for approval. If you need guidance in how to create a proclamation such as those written by NMCOA, feel free to reach out to the Board at nmcoa75@gmail.com.

2022 Presentations
At the December 2022 meeting, the NMCOA Board of Directors presented a certificate of appreciation to Martie Van Berlo,
in recognition of his 22 years of service and involvement with the NMCOA Board.
Van Berlo was elected tot he NMCOA Board of Directors in December 2000.
He served 2 years in each of the Board positions, and then added the responsibility of Education Chairman in 2007,
serving in that position until December 2022.
Van Berlo’s contributions to NMCOA include the current NMCOA logo, refreshing NMCOA documents and applications,
seeking out new and informative continuing education programs,
maintaining the organization’s records, managing the organization’s membership records annually,
organizing and maintaining the MADCAD online reference subscription, and more.
In response to the presentation Van Berlo briefly noted the past members who were responsible for the organization of NMCOA in 1975,
and indicated that his involvement in Board service was extremely rewarding, educational, and fun.
Van Berlo challenged the group, especially those younger inspectors to get involved.
The organization does not operate without dedicated individuals serving on the Board of Directors.
Van Berlo will continue to be available to the Board for consultation, and will continue to serve as the group’s website manager.
Outgoing Past President Randy Robinson was also presented with a Certificate of Appreciation for his 12 years of service as a NMCOA Board member.
