Board of Directors | 
The International Code Council’s Pacific Northwest Region II covers a uniquely diverse area serving 28 member chapters across six states. Encompassing Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming, Region II employs vastly different construction methods, seismic zones, high and low elevations from oceans to mountains to plains and permafrost. “Even with these differences, we all speak the same code language, have a lot of the same common issues and are like a happy blended family,” said Ted Zuk, CBO, Development Services Director, Jackson County, Oregon and Vice President, Region II. “The camaraderie and friendships formed are an important part of who we are as a region.”
