President’s Message
ThE wiNTER EDiTiON OF OFSMa news always gives us an opportunity to highlight
the upcoming conference, which will be held on april 15-17 at the Linn County Fair and
Expo Center in albany. I sat in on a Conference Committee meeting a few days ago, and
I can assure you that your colleagues who serve in that group are once again planning
a terrific event packed with educational sessions covering many topical issues. the
conference program is published in this issue, so please take a few minutes to check
out the workshops – I’m sure you’ll find some that will be of interest to you. as usual,
we expect more than 100 vendors to be on hand thursday to display their latest and
greatest products and services. the food will be great, the company stimulating – please
come and join us!
In the school facilities arena, we all work hard to serve our clients – students, families,
faculty – to the best of our abilities. to be sure that we are deploying our resources in the
way that best supports their needs, we need their feedback. and the best way to get that
feedback is to make a habit of asking for it. no matter how good we are at anticipating
needs, the feedback we get from our communities is always valuable in helping us
improve what we do.
Similarly, the OSFMa board wants our organization to be a resource for you – to
provide resources and support that help you to be more effective in your work. and so
we are making plans to ask you to let us know how OSFMa can best be of service to you.
the board has set aside extra time at our March meeting to talk about our mission as
an organization, to do some brainstorming about how and where OSFMa might best
focus its energies and resources. We will make a plan to gather feedback from all of you
in the coming months, with a particular emphasis on engaging you on this topic at the
conference. I encourage to spend some time thinking about this and to bring your best
ideas to share when we gather in april.
OSFMa has a long history of supporting school facility professionals in our state. We
aspire to do an even better job of it in the future! v

Featured Speaker:
The Speakera member of the Speaker Hall of
Fame, Steve Gilliland is one of the most in-demand and top-rated speakers in the world. Recognized as a master storyteller and brilliant comedian, he can be heard daily alongside Jerry Seinfeld and Jeff Foxworthy on SiriusXM Radio’s Laugh USa and Blue Collar Radio. With an appeal that transcends barriers of age, culture and occupation – plus an interactive and entertaining style – Steve shows audiences how to open doors to success in their careers, their relationships and their lives. Presenting to over 250,000 people a year, more than 2 million have now heard him speak, with audiences encompassing nearly three dozen industries. Steve has the distinction of speaking in all 50 states and in 15 countries. as one newspaper stated, “Steve is what happens when the humor of Jay Leno collides with the inspiration of Zig Ziglar.”
The AuthorIn addition to his brilliant speaking
career, Steve is a prolific, accomplished author, evidenced by three of his books – Enjoy The Ride, Making a Difference and
Hide Your Goat – perennially making the publisher’s bestseller list and his being named author of the Year. His thought-provoking writing style makes his articles a favorite with nationally prominent magazines. He in-fluences the lives of millions through his presentations, books, CDs and DVDs. an extensive array of these products has been utilized by small businesses, Fortune 500 companies, U.S. and Canadian government agencies, churches, school districts and non-profit organizations. Speaking the language of active business leaders, his books and CDs identify practical lessons that grow people and their businesses.
The businessmanSteve built a multimillion-dollar
company from the ground up on the same philosophy he ex-pounds to his audiences. If you continually learn more about your company, your industry, your customer and yourself, you will always be a leader. You will be purpose-driven rather than process-driven, and you will make a difference. His motto is straightforward: “If you take care of people, the business will follow.” He has been recognized by
Who’s Who for Speakers and Business Professionals, and The Pittsburgh Business Times named his company one of the fastest growing privately held companies in the region.
The PersonSteve was born and raised in the
Pittsburgh area, resides in north Carolina and travels the world. He received his bachelor’s degree from Grove City College (Pa) and his MBa from Globe University (Mn). He is a proud grandpa, devoted father of four boys and a loving husband to his wife, Diane. Steve learned great compassion for people and a commitment to a hard work and balanced life ethic at the knee of his highly principled Christian mother and stepfather. Whether Steve is speaking at an event, writing about current issues that impact people or leading his own employees, he is not just a person who challenges people to change, he motivates them to do so.
The guaranteeEveryone who hears his message
leaves with a renewed sense of enthusiasm for who they are and for what really matters. v

OSFMA PROFESSIONAL GROWTH APPLICATION GUIDE
The Oregon School Facilities Management Association provides professional certification to qualifying members based on education, achievement, and experience. Two certificate programs are available which are designed to demonstrate a high degree of professional competence and growth. Both growth paths, either the Certified School Facilities Manager or the Certified School Facilities Specialist, have three focus areas:
1. Participation in OSFMA 2. Other professional growth activities 3. Knowledge and skill gained through experiences
While the topics within the areas are different, what is needed to demonstrate proficiency in each area is similar. Some topics you may have previously completed. There may be others that you will still need to accomplish. There is no time limit to follow for completing your certification program. Part I: Participation in OSFMA To be brief, if you want to be certified by OSFMA you need to be active in the organization.
Required Elements: Provide a page describing your activities in OSFMA while you have been a member. Be as specific as you can on the conferences you have attended and the workshops in which you participated. If you received certificates of attendance you may include copies. If you have items in this area yet to complete you can contact the Conference Committee Chair to find out how you can get involved. Do the same for Zone Meetings and other OSFMA activities. Elective Elements: From the list of topics you will need to complete a minimum of two. Here again you need to give dates and describe the activity that demonstrates the completion of each topic selected.
Part II: Other Professional Growth Activities You most likely have participated in a number of formal or informal growth and training opportunities to get the position you now hold. As a professional, it is important that you continue to take advantage of growth opportunities throughout the year.
Elective Elements: This area has three elements labeled I, II, Ill. You need to complete two of the three. Where individual items are listed below the element heading you must demonstrate completion of at least One. The lists are not intended to be all inclusive. You may submit other items that you feel will meet the requirements of the element.
Part III: Knowledge and Skill Gained Through Experience Another area that provides growth is on-the-job exposure. A lot of knowledge is gained through reading books and pamphlets that includes:
A. Codes and regulations B. Operations and maintenance manuals C. Brochures from suppliers D. Standards published by trade groups
Working with people who possess more knowledge and skill on a subject than you do is another valuable way to grow. This area recognizes these important paths to improvement. Over

J.R. JOhNSON iNC. iS a locally owned
and operated general contracting and
restoration company, primarily serving
the Portland-Metro and Southwest
Washington areas. Founded in 1970 as a
multi-family exterior painting company,
the company has since evolved to provide
a variety of emergency and construction
services.
Our emergency response team is
equipped to handle any size water,
fire, storm-related, or bio-hazard loss.
We have live operators channeling all
phone calls 24 hours a day and trained
professionals on call to respond to any
restoration needs. From a small fire to
a burst water pipe or a fallen tree, we
have the skills and equipment necessary
to mediate building losses from the
initial emergency event through the
rebuilding process.
On the construction side, we offer full
building renovations, including building
envelope repair, siding and window
replacement, as well as a full exterior
painting division. J.R. Johnson, Inc. has
the ability to self-perform everything
associated with full-scale building
repairs and renovations. However,
we do delegate specialty areas such
as electricity, plumbing, HVaC, and
occasionally roofing in order to provide
the best value to our clients.
Our team of highly trained
professionals assures all projects align
with four core principles: quality,
integrity, safety, and sustainability. We
seek to provide the highest quality
workmanship and services and believe
that honesty and transparency in
communication are the fundamentals
to good project management. Onsite
management enforces and adheres to all
company safety regulations set forth by
industry standards.
as a company, we engage in a number
of sustainable and environmentally
friendly practices, keeping our footprint
to a minimum. Scrap wood and metal

is contained and treated, and paint products that are low in VOC are used when possible. Office staff also practices intense recycling and composting regimes.
Our expertise, targeted repairs, and sanitary jobsites allow us to perform work that is not invasive to the client, allowing them to go about their daily tasks as necessary. We make a clear effort to perform work in a non-intrusive manner and work around the client’s schedule, allowing businesses to remain open during regular working hours. this option is, of course, contingent on the size of the loss and repairs necessary.
Our effort toward clean, contained job sites makes it possible for us to perform work at commercial sites where cleanliness and safety are of utmost importance. this has resulted in our ability to provide services at schools, hospitals, and other facilities.
When a West Gresham Elementary school heating/air-conditioning unit had been leaking, our water intrusion experts were called out to complete the dry-down process. the water had soaked through the floor of the classroom, and into the ceiling tiles of both the music room, and computer lab that were positioned beneath. Our response services allowed us to properly track and dry the loss, leading to minimal necessary repairs during the put-back process. Our team was able to cover the unaffected areas which reduced any further losses. new ceiling tiles were installed in the affected areas, and small dry wall repairs were made where demolition occurred.
In another event, our crews were notified of water in an attic at Highland Elementary School when facilities maintenance staff went to use the attic for roof access. the water heater
in this area had been leaking for an undeterminable period of time. the emergency response team was able to begin immediate, same-day demolition and repairs. as the project progressed, large amounts of water were extracted. During our investigation, water was found in the ceiling of a teacher’s lounge below, as well as in electrical panels. the location of the water loss required that our crews access the work site via the roof. Drying mats, as seen below, were used to dry the attic floor, preventing the water from further migration.
J.R. Johnson, Inc. has developed a reputation as an industry leader devoted to efficient and skillful renovations and repairs. to learn more about the variety of services we offer, please visit us at the upcoming OSFMa conference, or visit our website at www.jrjohnsoninc.com.

MOST OF uS REMEMbER spending
some part of our early education in a
modular classroom, a common solution
for school districts looking to address
space needs in a fast turnaround time
and with a low budget. Created as a
short-term fix, these structures were often
built to meet the minimum construction
standards, with little natural light and
cramped quarters.
But what if you could transform the
simple concept of a modular, relocatable
classroom into a space that is beautifully
made, long-lasting, environmentally
kind, and most importantly, healthier for
students and teachers?
Enter the Smart academic Green
Environments (SaGE) classroom.
the SaGE classroom was designed
by faculty and students at Portland
State University’s School of architecture
with the support of a broad coalition of
partners — including Chehalis-based

to a traditional modular classroom.Studies have shown that children
have more academic success in learning environments where they are exposed to more natural light and are allowed to look outside and then refocus on their work. the SaGE classroom provides that environment.
With the constant exchange of fresh air and building materials with virtually no VOCs, these classrooms will keep the teachers and students healthy year round.
Long-term gainFor the district, the SaGE classroom
will use up to 50 percent less energy than an average modular classroom and has an expected lifespan of 50 to 60 years.
SaGE is made with environmentally friendly materials and a manufacturing processes that minimizes material waste. the overall building process takes approximately half the time for building occupancy than standard construction practices.
LEED Certifiablethe SaGE interior has an energy-
efficient ERV (energy recovery ventilator) mechanical system, low-velocity fans, vaulted ceilings and continuous dimming lighting. the interior also has BioPCM phase change material in the walls that act as a thermal mass to stabilize indoor temperatures. the steel floor structure allows for a door threshold that is closer to the ground, reducing the costs associated with

Exteriors have a modern architectural look with large overhangs to protect the building and Hardie reveal siding. the clerestory windows allow the buildings to be sited to take advantage of the most natural daylighting, reducing the amount of energy used on interior lights. the buildings use an exterior mechanical room that not only houses the ERV unit but also allows the district to enclose a communication link to monitor building performance.
In addition to the nine classrooms installed for the Edmonds School District, another SaGE will be installed at the Corvallis Waldorf School in Oregon. this SaGE was redesigned by Portland State’s Margarette Leite at a size of 28 by 64 feet and includes three separate classrooms.
the building will have a monitoring dashboard to track performance and direct continued innovation and growth. the dashboard will:• MonitorCO2 for air quality• Monitorthermalcomfortlevels• Periodicallyevaluateoccupant
