NEHES Survey to Identify and Meet Members’ Needs -- Please Fill it Out Today!

As part of NEHES’ plans to continue to meet the needs of its members and contribute to the Society’s Strategic Plan for future years, President John Duraes created and administered a 10-question survey to attendees at the NEHES Spring Seminar on March 20.

The survey asked opinions concerning attendance, education programs, and duration of future seminars and conferences, and provided valuable information to the NEHES Board of Directors and the Strategic Planning Committee. Results of the survey are also being shared with the Chairs of the 2010 Spring Seminar and 2010 Fall Conference.

If you did not attend the 2009 Spring Seminar or did not have the opportunity to take the survey on March 20, please login now and click on the survey link and give us your opinions.

Your opinion counts! Thank you for your time.

One of NEHES President Fred Leffingwell’s goals in 2008 was to create Life Time Achievement Awards for Active or Honorary NEHES members, individuals who have made significant contributions through leadership, accomplishments, local chapter involvement, and innovation in the fields of healthcare engineering and facilities management.

This year's NEHES President, John Duraes, hopes members will come forth with nominations for the award, which will be presented at the Awards Banquet in September during Fall Conference in Warwick, RI, if a successful candidate is found.

The award will recognize exemplary NEHES members who are 1) Active or Honorary Members, 2) have been a NEHES member for at least 10 years of continuous membership at the time of application, 3) have been a member of a NEHES affiliate chapter for five years or more of continuous membership, and 4) have held three Board positions at the NEHES level and at least one Board position at their State chapter level.
