Wade Rudolph and Jon Cechvala co-chair the WHEA Codes and Standards Committee.  The WHEA Codes and Standards Committee is responsible for the ongoing review of all codes and standards relating to health care engineering in the state of Wisconsin.  The committee serves in an advocacy role by establishing and maintaining relationships with authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ) that foster opportunities for WHEA to pro-actively influence the standards development and revision process.

Under their leadership, WHEA’s membership has been able to significantly contribute to a wide variety of advocacy efforts on both the state and national level.  WHEA Codes and Standards committee members regularly contribute to ASHE advocacy efforts, and work closely with state and national regulatory agencies.  Members of WHEA’s Codes and Standards committee often serve as representatives to regulatory focus-groups, and accept appointments to committees and boards such as those responsible for the AIA Guideline and NFPA Standards development and revision process.
