Quarterly Newsletter October 2011

We held our annual meeting and golf outing on September 12th at the

Columbia Country Club in Columbia, Missouri. Our speaker, Sam Weige,

Murphy Company, held a very informative presentation on Retro Commis-

sioning and the energy saved equating to real dollars for your organizations

bottom line. With the changes in Healthcare, the resources we save our

hospitals and organizations will become even more valuable and important

going forward. As industry leaders, we must always look for ways to

improve efficiencies and the qualities of our services that we provide.

Retro commissioning is leading the way for many facilities managers to do just that.

This year we were able to give three college scholarships to some very hard working and dedicated students. The

Scholarship Committee, lead by Mike Bock, awarded Sarah Bass, Stephen's College; Brian Schroder, Missouri State

University; and Daniel Scott, Missouri State University each a check for $1000.00 to help with their college expenses.

We wish them success in their studies in healthcare and construction management. We look forward to them expand-

ing their knowledge in the future of our industries.

Our golf outing was a tremendous success. Mother Nature could not have been kinder, it was a beautiful day with fun

had by all. A sincere thanks goes out to our many volunteers, friends and sponsors for all of their hard work and

contributions to MOSHE. Our partners are recognized in this newsletter and soon will be acknowledged on the

MOSHE website. A special thanks to the Golf Committee lead by Fred Waldrop, Murphy Company; Dan Boeckman,

SIU Cardondale (previously Boone Hospital Center); Lisa Ozanich, Boone Hospital Center; Virginia Pankey,

Christner; Janet Shirrell, Feeler Scheer Architects; Shari Gentsch, Tech Electronics; and Barb Warneke, MOSHE.

The Committee did a great job organizing this event. With the recent growth MOSHE has been experiencing, we

could need a larger course next year to accommodate everyone. For the first time, we actually turned away some

golfers due to the restrictions of teams allowed on the

course by the Country Club. We look forward to an even

larger and better tournament next year! I cannot say

enough about how committed the MOSHE members are. It

is wonderful to be able to work with such great group of

people this year, thank you all very much for a fun day

together!

Our next Education Program is scheduled for November

9th at the Missouri Hospital Annual Conference. The topic

is Infection Control in Health Facilities Management. The

presenter is Paula Bullock, Infection Control Professional

from the University Hospitals and Clinics, Columbia,

Missouri. With everyone involved with interim life safety

measures and preconstruction risk easements, this is sure to

be an educational and informative presentation. I look

forward to seeing all of you there.

Sincerely,

PRESIDENT’S CORNER
