4. Public Education and Outreach for Building Officials: Does your Board of Supervisors know what your department does day in and day out? Could a member of your Board of Supervisors respond to criticism of your department on the street? Education of the public and those in power is a critical element of what we do, or need to do, as Building Department Administrators. This workshop will provide tools for you to use back in your jurisdiction to take the message of building safety out to your community and your leaders. Building departments save lives one building at a time. Does your community know that?
