Something different is happening this year for the MABOI Annual Conference.  Please save the date of October 12-14, 2017 for the conference and get ready for the upcoming announcement!

MABOI Annual Conference – October 12 through 14, 2017

MABOI–on occasion–recognizes individuals for their outstanding service to the organization in the form of the Louis Stoppleman Award.

The Board of Directors decided to honor Mike Pavlakes of the City of Lake Saint Louis with that award this year.  Due to unforeseen circumstances, Mr. Pavlakes was unable to attend the annual banquet where we typical honor members.  In lieu of this situation, MABOI honored him at the next education event.

Mike Pavlakes is the Chief Building Official for Lake Saint Louis, served with the MABOI Board of Directors for over 15 years, and was the President of the organization in 2002.

Congratulations Mike.  Thank you for your efforts.

MABOI is in the process of updating our membership roster.  This information assists us in a variety of ways including simplifying our membership renewals and providing needed data for applications and decisions.  MABOI will use some of the data collected in this survey to plan future training opportunities and apply for merit opportunities that assist in paying for training opportunities (which in turn reduces the cost of events to our members).  MABOI does not share our specific members data with anyone.

Please take a couple of minutes to complete the survey below.  Then, take some time to ensure everyone else in your office that is or should be a MABOI member completes the survey.

In the future, we will be auditing membership information at educational seminars.  Having this information now, will reduce the time required completing the information at those training events.

If you have any questions, let me know.  [email protected].

Thanks in advance.
