Members of the Bluebonnet Chapter of the International Code Council elected McGregor building inspector Mike Olsen as its 2010 president.
The council is made up of building inspectors, most of them city officials but some in private practice to help builders reach advanced environmental and energy efficiency standards.
New officers were named at the annual awards banquet at the Copperas Cove Civic Center.
The Bluebonnet Chapter encompasses a half-dozen counties between Austin and Waco.
The new first vice president is Robert Retz with Killeen; second vice president, Lance R. Carlson with Lampasas; treasurer, Don Denniston with Copperas Cove; and secretary, Chet Southworth with Killeen.
Harold Clipper of Killeen was named member of the year for outstanding service. Steven Rinehart of Rinehart Real Estate Inspection Service Inc. and Lance Carlson received Dedicated Service awards – Rinehart for consecutive years as chapter president and Carlson for consecutive years as secretary.
Rinehart said about 65 members and guests attended the banquet, where Amarillo inspector Scott McDonald, president of the Building Official Association of Texas, spoke about the association's state and national efforts.
