• The UW's 38th Annual Commercial Building Code Refresher will be taking place at the Alliant Energy Center on John Nolen Drive, just off Hwy 12 & 18. The refresher will run from Monday, February 16 through Wednesday, February 18.

• On Thursday, March 19, the SW-WBIA will hold their Commercial Building Code Update at The Wintergreen Resort, 60 Gasser Road in Lake Delton.

Several other training programs are now in the planning stages, but those sessions have not yet been set.

Please note that S & B staff is available for training programs tailor-made to fit your needs. Hiring S&B to teach will allow you to train your own work groups, teams, chapter members, and entire departments for less than you might expect to pay for the cost of traditional public seminars.
