About Native American Code Officials

With our diverse panel of Board Members and Technical Advisors we will work to be an ally to all Native American Tribal Nations. We say Native American Tribal Nations because we as NACO are aware of the myriad of struggles that have created federally recognized tribes, however we are an organization that will always advocate for federally and non-federally recognized tribes as well as state recognized tribes.

NACO asks all code professionals to join to help in creating a network where we can advocate and support emerging Native American Tribal Nations! ICC membership is not a requirement to join, we understand that some communities are taking the first steps to code adoption and enforcement and we are an organization that will help them navigate that new path.

1.  To promote the advancement of building code adoptions by Native American Tribal Nations.  
2. To support, organize and participate in educational seminars and training programs relating to  specific needs of code officials working in Native American communities.
3. To promote mentoring of Native American members to further their knowledge of code  applications.  
4. To be dedicated to a process of continuous improvement for the members in a professional  networking atmosphere.  
5. To secure a closer official and personal relationship among code developers and code  enforcers throughout the country.  
6. To be active members of the International Code Council in the pursuit of fair and equitable  policy making which impacts Native American communities.  
7. To do all such other things as are incidental to, or desirable for, the attainment of the  organization’s objectives.
