Speakers

Rick Foster CBO. CFM

Building Official for the City of Denham Springs, LA
For the past 11 years, Mr. Foster has served as director of the Office of Planning and Development for the City of Denham Springs in Louisiana. Some of his duties include building official, floodplain administrator, stormwater inspector and code enforcement and he holds certifications for all. He was appointed to this position the same day Hurricane Gustav made landfall, September 1, 2008. Mr. Foster currently serves on the board and is a past-president of the Building Officials Association of Louisiana. He has also served on the Louisiana Floodplain Management Association board. Mr. Foster comes from the private sector where he most recently held the position of director for a local facilities management firm. In August 2016, the City of Denham Springs experienced an unprecedented 1000-year flood where over three thousand of its four thousand structures were flooded. Through hard work, help from countless public and non-public entities, a community full of residents and business owners determined to come back, and the grace of God, Denham Springs is once again a thriving city. Many successful policies and procedures were developed and refined during the recovery response, enabling thousands of homeowners to either repair, elevate, or demolish their structures. Through detailed management of the process, many were able to qualify for grants to cover those costs.
