The mission of the Codes and Standards Committee is to assist and educate the membership of the GHBA on technical matters relating to residential construction, codes, standards, methods, and procedures for the benefit of the consumers they serve.  The Codes & Standards Committee meetings are open to all GHBA members and local municipal building officials.  The Codes & Standards Committee meets the second Thursday of every month at noon.  Lunch will be available at 11:30 a.m.
