GAPPA History Update Chapter II – 2012-2020

GAPPA Origins (Excerpt taken from the GAPPA History document for 1984-2003)

In the fall of 1983, W. Clay Adamson, Jr, Director, Physical Plant, Medical College of Georgia, began to focus

his thoughts on contacting individuals who were interested in forming a professional organization for

physical plant professionals. Mr. Adamson wanted to bring together directors from colleges and universities

throughout the state in an attempt to establish a Georgia Association of Physical Plant Administrators to

replace the Board of Regents Facilities Organization that had dissolved. The new association would afford

plant directors the opportunity for professional enrichment and include an annual meeting for educational

sessions and updates, camaraderie and fellowship. As a means to this end, in September 1983, the wheels

of progress were in motion and things began to happen.

The initial planning session was held at the Medical College of Georgia with representation from MCG,

Georgia State University, Georgia Southern (College) University, Macon (College) University, Valdosta State

(College) University, West Georgia (College) University, and Georgia Institute of Technology. During the

meeting, interest grew and before adjourning, plans for the first meeting of the Georgia Association of

Physical Plant Administrators were underway and the first draft copy of bylaws was written by Fred

Shroyer, Georgia Southern (College) University.

The first meeting was scheduled and held March 21 — 23, 1984, at the Sheraton Savannah Resort and

Country Club, Savannah, Georgia, with Clay Adamson acting as Interim President, Fred Shroyer, Interim Vice

President, Joe White, Treasurer, and Jack Hall, Secretary. By the close of the meeting, the organization had

31 member institutions and 71 meeting participants. By-laws were accepted, committees formed, and

officers elected. The meeting was an overwhelming success with educational sessions, guest speakers and a

presentation to Frank Dunham, the retiring Director of Facilities, University System of Georgia. We felt

something was missing. The planning committee felt the need for vendors’ participation to help plant

administrators stay abreast of current plant-related trends, equipment and technology. So, the search for

more meeting space to accommodate vendor booths was underway. SOON after, plans began for the

second meeting to be held at the Unicoi State Park in Helen, Georgia, March 31 - April 3, 1985. Again, the

meeting was a success, but growth was a factor, so a new location was imminent.

The third, and all subsequent meetings, have been held at the Holiday Inn, Jekyll Island, Georgia, and the

association now enjoys national recognition as one of the best state organizations in existence. Its quarterly

workshops, the scholarship program, and the awards program are second to none, and the annual meetings

rank superior in educational opportunities, information sharing, and professional fellowship. Thanks to all

who have worked relentless hours and contributed so much to make

GAPPA what it is today; it has truly been a “team” effort. But, thanks most of all to all those plant

professionals in the early years who shared their insight, time, and talents to broaden the physical plant

arena: Clay Adamson for his leadership, Fred Shroyer for his professional expertise in establishing by-laws,

Joe White for his untiring devotion and attention to details, Bob Townley for his guidance and participation

as Master of Ceremonies, Brenda Duffie-DeCampli for conference coordination, Jeannette Berry for

administrative assistance, and numerous others. GAPPA has truly established a mark of professional

excellence and its future looks very bright.

GAPPA Founders Many people have contributed to the establishing of GAPPA and a few had the determination to get it

started. GAPPA could not have been started, if it wasn’t for the effort of many good men and women of the

university facilities management in Georgia. Below is a list of the men who founded GAPPA in 1983.
