History of Designation Program 15 plus years ago a group of leaders in our field introduced the

concept for developing a program to enhance the learning opportunities and ensure basic understandings of Facility

Management to IASBO, IASBO liked the program and it was instituted

It was lead by people like:

Bob Spangle, George Klien,

Neil Rossdeutscher, James Wuerffel, Gary Stanley and Grant Sabo

That were the leaders that developed this new venture

This was the birth of the Designation Program

How does the Designation Program Work

1.  Required Seminars (49 points) 1.  Introduction to Facilities Management at the Annual Conference (1) 2.  Budget & Financial Projections (6) 3.  Custodial Operations (3) 4.  Maintenance Operations (3) 5.  Environmental Health & Safety (6) 6.  Educational Facility Design, Renovation & Construction (6) 7.  Security and Emergency Preparedness Management (3) 8.  Public Relations & Internal Communications (3) 9.  Building Systems: HVAC, Electrical and Technology (6) 10. Grounds Care & Planning and Playgrounds (3) 11. Best Practices in Purchasing (6) 12. Energy Saving, Sustainability, Recycling, Green LEED (3)

2.  Elective Seminars (18 points) Any Illinois ASBO seminar may qualify as an elective.

3.  Length to Complete the Program

At the end of this five-year program and with completion of three years work experience verified by a supervisor, designees are presented with a pin and certification-of-completion plaque signed by the President of Illinois ASBO.

4.  Five Year Renewal Requirement (15 points every five years) To maintain your Designation you must earn an additional 15 points every five years. Up to 6 points each year will count toward this renewal requirement

It is a series of seminars designed to improve the understanding of the Director of Buildings and Grounds Position

Evolution of New Certification

As beneficial, helpful and educational as the designation program is, it also took a long time to

complete and had no method to verify that information was learned. It lacked a recognizable

respected certification in our industry.

This is what started the evolution to an internationally recognized certification. The evolution started out

with Buildings and Grounds Directors, who are amongst us here, who had a vision to make our certification more respected and sought after.

Evolution of New Certification

A group of Buildings and Grounds Directors along with IASBO Meet with representatives from three

organizations where presentations were given to them from the organizations to preview their

literature, testing procedures and pricing structures.

Of the three organizations interviewed, the

Association for Facility Engineering (AFE) was chosen.

Presentation to IASBO

September 6, 2012 John Fuhrer from Northshore School District 112 and Scott Mackall from Park Ridge School District 64 met with the Executive board of IASBO to share the vision of partnering

with AFE for certification for the Facility Manager position in schools.

The Board unanimously approved of the

partnership.

IASBO & AFE Partnership Negotiations were then held with AFE, IASBO

and members or our group to work out an agreement.

The purpose of the agreement was to finalize the pricing structure, schedules and to figure

out a way to allow a few members of the IASBO group to become trainers to help keep

costs down for our members.

•  The new certification has international recognition

•  The new certification has a testing feature to authenticate what has been learned

program but allows the old certification and training opportunities to enhance the new certification
