ICC’s Senior VP of Government Relations, Sara Yerkes, to Retire
Sara Yerkes, Senior Vice President of Government Relations at the International Code Council, is set to retire after spending the last 20 years as a leading voice for the local, state and federal adoption of the Code Council’s building codes and standards.
Yerkes began her career with the Code Council in 2001 and has supported the adoption and enforcement of the most up-to-date building codes since the first publication of the International Codes (I-Codes). Under her leadership, she has implemented and executed various proactive programs that have seen the I-Codes become adopted in all fifty states. Yerkes also co-founded and co-chairs the Coalition for Current Safety Codes, which consists of many safety and building code organizations with the mission of helping state and local jurisdictions modernize their construction codes.
