Welcome
A little about ourselves
|
PermitTechNation was founded by Permit Technicians from across the United States via networking through ICC and the Annual Conferences. The network of Permit Technicians has grown over the years and has encouraged further involvement. It all started with the Permit Tech Ad Hoc Committee and has grown into a community that supports, encourages and mentors each other.
Our top priority is to... * Mentor Permit Techs to work towards establishing an ICC Permit Technician Chapter/Association in their respective State. * Promote ICC Permit Technician Certification. * Support, organize and participate in educational seminars and training programs. |
