Our District II meeting held at Baptist South on January 11, 2012 was a very good meeting. We had over 40 active and supporting members in attendance along with several new active and supporting members attending.
We had a great meal and two educational presentations provided by our supporting members. Leslie Smith from American Air Filters International provided the meal from the Olive Garden. Presentations were provided on Boiler Controls by Gary Yown of Yown’s Boiler & Furnace Service, Inc and an Energy presentation by Jim Taufer of Schneider Electric (courtesy of Graybar Electric). Thanks to you all for providing these opportunities to our members.
Our regular meeting agenda provided us the opportunity to discuss items such as the upcoming FHEA Spring Meeting that will be held in Howey in the Hills and the opportunity for active members to attend CHFM classes at no charge during this meeting. We also discussed items such as recent inspections which always provide valuable information for all of the facility managers to hear what the latest hot topics are with our regulatory agencies.
We are already planning our next meeting which is scheduled for March 14th at 4:30 pm with the location TBD. The educational presentation will be a topic that affects us all, the new 2010 Florida Building Code that has an effective date of March 15, 2012 (the day after our meeting). Dick Worth from TLC Engineering for Architecture has agreed to provide us with information on the changes to the Florida Building Code.
We look forward to seeing you all at our next meeting.
Thanks for all you do to serve the needs of those whose
lives have been interrupted by injury or illness.
