Sustainable Facility - November 2008 - (Page 6)

Editorial 2401 W. Big Beaver, Suite 700, Troy, MI 48084 Phone: 248.362.3700 www.sustainablefacility.com The Kid’s Got Moxie… Moxie (noun). Pronounced móksee. Deﬁnition: Courage combined with inventiveness. We set out to be the premier facility management publication operating under the mantra “all green, all the time.” No one was publishing a magazine that focused exclusively on the variety of aspects that make a facility energy efﬁcient, healthy, and stimulating to its inhabitants, and we recognized the fact that managing a “sustainable facility” is more than a trend; moving forward, we believe it is the way all facilities will be operated. In a volatile market where property owners and managers feverishly fret in regard to sticking to budgets and ROI, the new kid on the block — Sustainable Facility — has established itself as a mainstay of sustainability and will continue to champion the cause. IFMA’s World Workplace in Dallas and Greenbuild 2008 in Boston ofﬁcially mark the ﬁrst birthday celebration of our publication, and we’d like to take this opportunity to thank the readers, advertisers and everyone who has made it such a success. During the course of the past year we’ve published seven issues, and if you’re reading this, now our eighth. Heck, we even won an Azbee award from the American Society of Business Publication Editors (ASBPE). And we’re not slowing down. In keeping with the ever-evolving sustainability movement, Sustainable Facility will continue to provide you with the resources to stay abreast of high-performance facility management trends in print, in your inbox, and via the Internet through our daily updated and well-traversed website, www.SustainableFacility.com. We’ve recently launched a brand new video section online; check out details in this month’s Only Online roundup. We’re also looking for more educational videos of this nature. If you have a clip you’d like to share with us for consideration, please drop me a note at maytonj@bnpmedia.com. Did I mention webinars? We’re on a roll with these online-only events, and have them 6 S U S TA I N A B L E F A C I L I T Y NOVE M B E R 2008 PUBLISHER Elizabeth Obloy | obloye@bnpmedia.com EDITOR archived for reference at www.Sustainable Facility.com/CDA/Webinars.

Greenbuild is our proverbial bread and butter; a chance for us to gather with like-minded sustainable industry professionals and engage in educational seminars as well as visit with the vendors that make the environmentally friendly products that help stock your facilities and the luminaries that lead the way through their words of wisdom. We’ll be sharing booth space again this year at Greenbuild 2008 — if you’re reading this on the showﬂoor, be sure to drop by booth # 1833 to let us know you’re on board with what we’re doing. We’re very pleased to host Sustainable Facility contributing columnist and editorial advisory board member Tommy Linstroth, who will be signing copies of his new book, “Local Action,” at our booth on Nov. 19 and 20, from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. Group Publisher, National Sales Manager Diana Brown | brownd@bnpmedia.com Phone: 248.244.6258 | Fax: 248.244.3911 National Sales Manager Jami Brownlee | brownleej@bnpmedia.com Phone: 248.786.1657 | Fax: 248.502.2065 National Sales Manager Heather Jenkins | jenkinsh@bnpmedia.com Phone: 248.244.6444 | Fax: 248.786.1397 National Sales Manager Elizabeth Obloy | obloye@bnpmedia.com Phone: 248.244.6452 | Fax: 248.244.3947 Classiﬁed Sales Michael O’Connor | oconnorm@bnpmedia.com Phone: 610.354.9552 | Fax: 610.354.9390 Reprints Jill Devries | devriesj@bnpmedia.com Phone: 248.244.1726 | Fax: 248.244.3934 List Rentals For postal information please contact Rob Liska at 800-223-2194 x726 or email him at robert.liska@edithroman.com For email information please contact Shawn Kingston at 800-409-4443 x828 or email her at shawn.kingston@epostdirect.com ART & PRODUCTION Production Manager Jeff Bagwell | bagwellj@bnpmedia.com Phone: 248.244.6481 | Fax: 248.244.3915 Art Director Shannon Nieman | niemans@bnpmedia.com AUDIENCE DEVELOPMENT Audience Development Manager Kathy Kerin | kerink@bnpmedia.com Multimedia Manager Megan Neel | neelm@bnpmedia.com Corporate Audience Audit Manager Catherine M.

That’s right, Sustainable Facility and ED+C staff members will continue regaling you with our personal musings and opinions on the state of the sustainable sector. Of course this means we’ll need feedback — if not, it’s really just tantamount to writing on a bathroom wall.

Again, thank you for supporting Sustainable Facility, and more importantly, our principle mission.
