Chief Building Official
"Working for a smaller township with a staff of two, I really look forward to Gerald’s bi-weekly webinars. It gives me an opportunity to engage in a couple of hours of “code talk” which always includes something new and relevant to our daily responsibilities."

Steven Nason

Building Inspector
"Joining Gerald and his team in the 'Let's Talk About... Technical Webinar Series' since 2020 has been an absolute pleasure! Each series is a great resource, continuously expanding my knowledge and providing fresh insights into the Code —even after 27 years as a building inspector. These webinars have been another tool in the toolbox for learning and growth as an inspector!"
