The International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) completed its 88th annual Education and Business Conference at the Egan Convention Center and Captain Cook Hotel in Anchorage, Alaska.

Membership made its final recommendations toward development of the 2018 editions of the American National Standard Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) and Uniform Mechanical Code (UMC) during the Association Technical

Meeting Convention, debating and casting votes to approve or reject all proposed changes for the last time in this code cycle. Membership recommendations will be sent to the Technical Committees for one final vote, and the Standards Council will hear any filed appeals in November.

The association re-elected President DJ Nunez, state of California Plumbing and Mechanical Inspector, and Vice President David Straub, retired city and county of Denver Plumbing Inspector, to second one-year terms.

Membership also elected two new Board of Directors members: Claudio Spagnuolo, plumbing inspector, city of Brampton, Canada; and Ian Longacre, plumbing and mechanical inspector, city of Santa Fe, N.M. Keith Bonenfant, state of California mechanical inspector, was appointed as Board of Directors Secretary/Treasurer.
