2010 Chapter Meetings and Summer Conference Call for Presentations
The 2010 theme for Georgia CEFPI, “More with Less”, got off to a great start with Walton County’s Energy Star presentation at our first chapter meeting in February. With dates now set for our Summer Conference and remaining chapter meetings, it’s time to open our Call for Presentations. The lineup in 2009 was top-notch and we look to outdo that in 2010!
First, these are the dates you can place on your calendars:
- April 15, 2010 Chapter Meeting in Cherokee County
- June 20-22, 2010 Summer Conference at Callaway Gardens
- August 19, 2010 Chapter Meeting (location to be determined)
- October 21, 2010 Chapter Meeting (location to be determined)
Our goal is to provide interesting, useful and innovative presentations that will help all of us navigate these difficult economic times. In other words, what are some of the practical, data-driven methods our industry can use to actually accomplish “More with Less”?
We encourage you to submit your ideas for presentations no later than March 31, 2010.
Each submittal should indicate your preference for a Chapter Meeting presentation (30 minutes each), Summer Conference session (60 minutes each for eight planned sessions – if you have a preference, indicate day one or day two of the conference) or both. Also, note if your presentation can be made available for the April 15th Chapter Meeting.
Please include the following information with your submission:
- Title
- Presentation Summary (please limit to one paragraph)
- Possible Speakers and summary of qualifications
All presentations should focus on educating school facility representatives and other attendees on new technologies, updated processes and procedures, innovative strategies, etc. that support our stated theme. We particularly encourage joint participation with school facility representatives where real-life strategies have been implemented. We encourage school facility representatives with interesting challenges and stories to share them with their peers through presentations, as well. Sessions should not have a commercial or sales-oriented focus.
Please send your submittal electronically by March 31, 2010 to Ted Gilbert at gilbertt@clarke.k12.ga.us.
