There are a number of Certificates remaining from our ICC Chapter Rewards program. The Certificates will be offered to our membership in the following manner until they are exhausted: First, to Officers of the Board who plan on attending the Code hearings; Second, to other Board members who plan to attend but are not Officers on the Board; and Third to active members who are members of the ICC and by virtue of the ICC Membership, voting representatives for their respective jurisdictions.

The next grant opportunity is a financial grant of up to $200.00 for up to ten CAAK members who also are ICC members capable of voting on behalf of their respective jurisdictions. Expenses of up to $200.00 will be reimbursed for the ten members selected for hotel accommodations or meals* while attending the ICC Conference. *Not to include the purchase of alcoholic beverages.
