The Building Inspectors Association of Northeastern Wisconsin (BIANEW) is an organization of over 100 municipal Building Officials encompassing 21 counties. Members meet monthly to discuss code issues, learn about new building products and techniques, and promote building safety and uniformity of enforcement of state codes. A guest speaker is usually invited to speak to the group on a variety of topics related to the building industry. If interested you are invited to attend future meetings and you may also contact any of the officers listed on the home page for more information.
BIANEW was formed in 1971 by a group of 16 municipal inspectors who saw the educational benefits of regular monthly meetings with their fellow inspectors. The first meeting was held June 15th, 1971 at the Shawano City Hall due to its centralized location. The Organization is headed up by a group of 4 elected officers who are dedicated to maintaining the high professional standards set by the original charter members.
