Greg Woolley
Region III's Virtual/In-Person Educational Institute was held February 8–12, 2021, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This was the 17th year Region III, the Association of Minnesota Building Officials (AMBO) and ICC collaborated on this mid-winter educational event and the first time a hybrid educational institute was offered.
Conducted virtually, Greg's session reviewed the essentials of gypsum panel products, and guided attendees through the Gypsum Association's code referenced documents, namely, GA-600 Fire Resistance and Sound Control Design Manual, GA-216 Application and Finishing of Gypsum Panel Products and GA-253 Application of Gypsum Sheathing. Greg also spent some time reviewing various pertinent resources available at gypsum.org.
Twenty-five learners attended the course, which provided four contact hours and 0.40 CEUs in the category "Fire." Why such a long session? As they transition to a largely virtual format, Region III made a special request of the Association and Greg for additional contact hours.
