Laying theGroundworkOne generation plants a tree,Another enjoys the shade.

—Proverb

As I browse through the past fourissues of Papyrus, I am reminded ofthe strides that our organization hasmade during the past few years. In myfirst address to members in the Winter2004–2005 issue of Papyrus, I spokeof a vision for renewal and growth. Ispoke of the steps we would take tolay the groundwork towards realizingthis vision. Since then, we have imple-mented a strategic planning process,we have created sub-committees ofthe Board of Directors to undertakespecial projects, we have collaboratedon a new approach to performing theannual benchmarking survey, andwe have made inroads into attractingnew members from the internationalmuseum community.

There remains much work to bedone in order to maintain our Associa-tion and to ensure that it remains viable.One of the outcomes of our strategicplanning exercise was a recognitionthat the facilities management (FM)discipline suffers from a lack of visibilitywithin the cultural community. This isalso true of the FM departments withinother types of organizations throughoutthe world. The Facility ManagementAssociation of Australia also recognizedthis fact and undertook a research pro-ject exploring how FM could becomea business enabler through digitalmodeling, services procurement and

performance benchmarking. The intentof the project was to demonstrate howthese three streams of facilities manage-ment could be aligned with the broaderobjectives of the organization—in thiscase, the Sydney Opera House—toprovide FM solutions that could be inte-grated into that organization’s strategicdirections. I encourage IAMFA membersto visit the FMA Australia website atwww.fmactionagenda.org to learn moreabout this approach, and hopefully toinspire a more strategic integration oftheir facilities management functionwithin their organizations. Successfulintegration of FM solutions will cer-tainly result in better support of thebusiness objectives and functionalrequirements of the organization.

One of the other outcomes of thestrategic planning exercise was therealization that the communicationstools of an international organizationsuch as IAMFA should not be limitedto one language, as this would inhibitthe growth potential of our Associationand its ability to become more relevantto cultural institutions throughout theworld. Therefore, for the first time inthe history of IAMFA, this article willalso appear in French, in light of thefact that IAMFA has a new memberfrom Paris: le musée du quai Branly, towhich we wish to extend our Associa-tion’s warmest welcome. The membersof the Board of Directors have hadserious discussions regarding theintegration of French and Spanish inPapyrus, on our website, and in theuse of simultaneous translation at ourannual conferences. Efforts will bemade, to the extent possible, to inte-grate these three languages into thefabric of IAMFA communications. Wealso encourage our members to con-tribute articles to Papyrus in theirlanguage of choice, and we will co-nsider them for publication withtranslations into the other languages.

These and other important issueswere discussed recently at the semi-annual Board of Director’s meeting

here in Ottawa in February 2007, inpreparation for the IAMFA 2007 AnnualConference. I am proud of the seriouscontributions that our Board members,Jim Moisson, Richard Kowalczyk, DanDavies and John de Lucy continue tomake towards the operations of ourAssociation, and the support that theylend me in directing the Association.We are looking forward to seeing allof you at the conference this September,so that we can network with eachother and continue to allow IAMFA toprovide you with the knowledge andthe tools you need to support yourcultural institutions.

Jeter les basesUne génération plante les arbresà l’ombre desquels une autregénération se repose.

– Proverbe

En parcourant les quatre derniersnuméros de Papyrus, j’ai été frappéde constater tous les pas que notreassociation a franchis au cours desdernières années. Dans mon premiermot aux membres dans le numéro dePapyrus de l’hiver 2004-2005, je parled’une vision de renouvellement et decroissance. J’explique les étapes quenous devrons pendre pour préparerle terrain afin de réaliser cette vision.Depuis, nous avons mis en place unprocessus de planification stratégiqueet nous avons créé des sous-comités duconseil d’administration pour s’occuperde projets spéciaux. Nous avons col-laboré à l’élaboration d’une nouvelleapproche pour le sondage annuel surles indices de référence, et nous avonsfait d’énormes progrès pour attirer denouveaux membres de la communautémuséale internationale au sein denotre association.

Il reste encore beaucoup de travailà abattre pour bien établir les bases denotre association et assurer sa viabilité.Il se dégage, notamment de notre exer-cice de planification stratégique que ladiscipline de la gestion des installations(ce qu’on appelle FM en anglais pourfacility management) manque de visi-bilité à l’intérieur de la communautéculturelle. Il en est de même pour lesservices de gestion des installationsd’autres types d’organisation dans lemonde entier. À cet égard, la FacilityManagement Association of Australia(FMA) a effectué une recherche pourtenter de déterminer comment trans-former cette discipline en facilitateur decommerce par la modélisation numé-rique, l’approvisionnement en serviceset l’analyse comparative du rendement.La recherche visait à trouver des moyensd’aligner ces trois courants de gestiondes installations sur les grands objectifs

de la Sydney Opera House en l’occur-rence, afin d’offrir des solutions FMpouvant être intégrées aux orientationsstratégiques de cette organisation.J’encourage les membres de l’IAMFA àvisiter le site Web de la FMA Australia,à www.fmactionagenda.org, afin dese familiariser davantage avec cetteapproche qui inspirera, je l’espère,une intégration plus stratégique dela fonction FM au sein de vos organi-sations respectives. Il est clair quel’intégration de solutions FM entraî-nera un meilleur soutien des objectifsd’affaires et des exigences fonctionnellesde l’organisation.

En outre, il ressort de notre exercicede planification stratégique que lesoutils de communication d’une orga-nisation internationale comme l’IAMFAne devraient pas se limiter à une seulelangue. Cela limiterait le potentiel decroissance de notre association et sacapacité d’être plus pertinente pourles institutions culturelles du mondeentier. Ainsi, pour la première fois del’histoire de l’IAMFA, nous publionségalement cet article en français afinde souligner l’arrivée au sein de notreassociation d’un nouveau membre dumusée du quai Branly de Paris à quinous souhaitons la plus chaleureusebienvenue. Les membres du conseild’administration ont discuté sérieuse-ment de la possibilité de publier desarticles en français et en espagnoldans Papyrus et dans le site Web denotre association, et d’offrir aussi l’inter-prétation simultanée à nos conférencesannuelles. Dans la mesure du possible,nous tenterons d’intégrer ces troislangues dans les communications del’IAMFA. Nous encourageons aussi nosmembres à soumettre à notre étudedes articles, dans la langue de leurchoix, pour publication dans Papyruset traduction dans les autres langues.

Toutes ces importantes questions etd’autres ont fait l’objet de discussionsrécemment à la réunion semestrielledu conseil d’administration de l’IAMFAqui a eu lieu à Ottawa, en février 2007,en prévision de la conférence annuelle2007 de notre association. Je me réjouis

des précieuses contributions que lesmembres du conseil, Jim Moisson,Richard Kowalczyk, Dan Davies etJohn de Lucy, continuent à faire auxactivités de notre association et du sou-tien qu’ils m’assurent dans la directionde l’association. Nous avons hâte devous rencontrer à la conférence enseptembre. Ce sera là une excellenteoccasion pour tous de tisser des liens etde créer des réseaux afin de permettreà l’IAMFA de fournir à ses membresles connaissances et les outils dontils ont besoin pour soutenir leursinstitutions culturelles.

One thing I know for sure: the weatherwill be warmer when we gather inOttawa this September than it wasduring the mid-year Board meetinglast February. It was the first timesince I was a child growing up inRhode Island that I had been able towalk on snowy sidewalks on whichthe snow was not icy, gray or slushy,but instead crunched underfoot. Ascold as it was, we were treated to verywarm and gracious Northernhospitality. Thank you Guy and Samia!

Plans are well underway for the 2007guest program. Part of the “agenda” atthe February meeting was to samplethe various culinary treats that awaitour arrival in September. (Try the wildboar pâté!) I won’t give away all ofthe details, but let me just say this: Igained three pounds in three days.Bring your walking shoes—we willneed to do a lot of walking!

Speaking of walking, there is alot to see within walking distance ofthe castle . . . I mean the FairmontChâteau Laurier. (Or so I am told. Itwas too cold for my Maryland, mild-winter blood to do much outdoorexploring in February. According toGuy and Samia, the -12˚C temperatureswere mild by Ottawa standards.) Abeautiful park, an outdoor market, a

photography museum, a shopping mall(or two), the Rideau Canal, and theNational Gallery (which we visit onMonday) are just a few of the placesclose to the hotel. We should be ableto find plenty to occupy ourselveswhile the IAMFA members arebenchmarking on Sunday.

I am told the weather in Septembercan be chilly. The advice from the localsis to wear layers. Sounds great to me!After a long, hot, humid summer in the

Guest Alert

Washington, D.C. area, I will be morethan ready for the cool, clear air ofOttawa in September.

Enjoy your summer. The Conferencewill be here before we know it. Weare in for a real treat. Here’s to goodfood and great fellowship in Ottawa.See you in September.

Kim Davies is the wife of DanielDavies, Secretary of IAMFA.

BackgroundAt the 2005 IAMFA conference in Bilbao,a brainstorming session aimed at im-proving the image and relevance ofIAMFA led to the suggestion that IAMFAbecome more of a recognized authorityin museum facility administration. Oneway this could be achieved wouldbe for IAMFA to produce a buildingcertificate which would assert the per-formance of that facility in comparisonwith similar facilities.

A working party was set up toinvestigate how this idea could bedeveloped. The working party consistedof Jack Plumb of the National Libraryof Scotland, Frank Brown of theNational Gallery, John Standish of theSmithsonian Institution, Ian MacLeanof the Canada Science and TechnologyMuseum Corporation, and KeithMcClanahan of Facility Issues.

In January 2006, the Energy Perfor-mance of Buildings Directive (EPBD)came into force in the European Unionwith the aim of reducing energy con-sumption in buildings. A key part ofthis legislation was Article 3, whichproposed an Energy PerformanceCertificate (EPC). At the Los Angelesconference AGM, the working partyproposed that the IAMFA BuildingCertificate should be based on thisEnergy Performance Certificate. Theyfurther proposed that a discussionpaper be published in Papyrus priorto the Ottawa conference to allowmembers to comment on the proposals,with a view to holding a vote on theseproposals at the conference.

The European legislation makes avery good point—one which fits verywell with the guiding principals ofIAMFA; i.e., “Public authority buildingsand buildings frequently visited by thepublic should set an example by takingenvironmental and energy considera-tions into account and therefore shouldbe subject to energy certification on aregular basis. The dissemination to the

public of this information on energyperformance should be enhancedby clearly displaying these energycertificates.” (Recital No 16—EnergyPerformance of Building Directive—2006)

ProposalsMost of the information requiredto produce an Energy PerformanceCertificate is already provided withinthe existing benchmarking exercisethat most of us currently undertake,and the intention is that this will not

change. The main principle for theIAMFA EPC is that it will be producedas part of the benchmarking exerciseso that, once information has beenprovided for the benchmarking exer-cise, the EPC will be part of the reportprovided.

Information that Could beProvided on an EPCAs mentioned above, the principal aimof the EPC is to provide a tool whichwill help identify energy use, while also

offering encouragement and, hopefully,funding to carry out further energy-saving projects. The information to beprovided on the EPC would thus focusprimarily on energy issues.

These might include:

• Electricity consumption

• Gas consumption

• Coal consumption

• Oil consumption (for heatingpurposes only, not for standbygeneration purposes)

• Water consumption

• Steam consumption

• Central hot/chilled waterconsumption

Floor area will also be required andfor the purposes of the EPC, and wepropose to keep the existing definitionof the building floor area defined asgross area in the 2006 facility issuesMuseum Benchmarking Survey, asfollows: “The sum of the floor areason all levels of the building that aretotally enclosed within the buildingenvelope including below grade (base-ment) floor areas and interior parking.The building gross area is measuredto the outside face of exterior walls,disregarding canopies, cornices,pilasters, buttresses and balconies thatextend beyond the wall face and court-yards that are enclosed by walls buthave no roof. The building gross areabasement space includes the areameasured to the outside face of thebasement or foundation walls.”

The other items that we feel couldbe included on an EPC would be thoseissues that directly affect the energyconsumption of a particular facility,reflecting the issues that are importantto that facility. Even within a facility,there should be no reason why differ-ent issues cannot be displayed on theEPC for different buildings within thatfacility. These can either be incorpo-

rated into any consumption calculationor included as item of fact.

These items are:

• Outside air temperature—measuredas heating-degree days or cooling-degree days. (We will need to specifythe base temperature, as the UKand USA currently use differentbase temperatures.)

• Public opening hours/Visitornumbers/Combination of both;i.e., visitors per opening hour

• Environmental conditions in whichcollections are maintained. (Thisassumes fully air-conditionedspaces—some facilities do not havefull air-conditioning or maintainstrict environmental conditions.)

• Energy consumption of public cafe-teria, or similar identifiable energyconsumption not directly related tothe institution’s core business.

Energy Consumption DataWithin the European Union, twomethods for calculating energy con-sumption seem to be emerging. Onemethod is what is called an “AssetRating” and the other is known asan “Operational Rating”.

Asset Rating: This method wasprincipally designed for new builds,and is a theoretical calculation methodwhich takes into account the insulationand assumed operational propertiesof the building. The calculation thencompares the energy performance ofthat building to a standard buildingwith the same operational properties,but uses a standard insulation valuebased on the England and Wales 2006Building Code. The asset rating doesnot take into account the running useof the building; i.e., use of exhibition/specialist lighting or computer use inoffices, as it is really designed for pro-viding the most basic of standards fora standard office type environment.

Operational Rating: This methoddoes take into account the actual

energy use of the building, whichdoes of course include the runninguse of the building. The operationalrating does require regular meter read-ings and the recording of all energysources, and the question is how oftenshould the energy readings be taken,and what meters should be read.

The European legislation accepts thata rating can last for up to ten years,but it is difficult to see how this candemonstrate an improvement in theenergy consumption of a building. Atthe moment, IAMFA members partakein an annual benchmarking exercisein which annual energy consumptionis a standard question. Therefore, itseems sensible to take the existingbenchmarking exercise a bit further toproduce an EPC on an annual basis.

Within Europe, the assumption is thatthe energy consumption data will bedisplayed in kilograms of CO2 emission,using government-published conversionfactors. This is very straightforward inEurope, but not so straightforward else-where, where the conversion factorsare not so readily available. In addition,these conversion factors are changingall the time as the power companiesjuggle the power supply betweennuclear/gas-fired/coal-fired/oil-firedelectricity generation, and that is beforethe discussion on the type of coal/oilthat is used. Therefore, the workinggroup has decided that the energyperformance information should bepresented in terms of kWh/m2, whichis a term most of us are familiar with.

Based on the arguments above, theworking group has decided to recom-mend the adoption of the “OperationalRating” as the basis for the calculationof energy consumption.

Grading StructureAs can be seen from the certificate, theheadline chart will have eight bars,each denoting a grading standard.Assuming that these bars represent theenergy performance of the building,

Proposals for the Labelling of Buildings—continued from page 7

Page 9: Papyrus Summer 2007

the next issue to be defined is whatthe bars indicate. Again there are twopossibilities:

• The bars compare the energy per-formance of the building with itspeers; i.e., benchmarking similartypes of buildings.

• The bars compare the energy per-formance of the building with itsown performance on a year-by-year basis.

To compare the energy performanceof a building with its peers may appearthe obvious choice at first glance;however, as the buildings within themuseum/gallery sector are usuallyunique, and whilst a gallery could becompared with a gallery, once youtake into account all the variables—local climate conditions, condition ofplant, different operational/exhibiting/environmental conditions withincollection areas—the comparisonbecomes increasingly difficult.

To compare the energy performanceof a particular building year by yearwill give a real indication of just howwell an energy-saving initiative orinvestment in energy-saving equip-ment has performed. It may also reflectthe consequences of extended openinghours, increased visitor numbers ora significant change in the weather.Whatever the reason, the resultswould be there for everyone to see.

On the basis of the argumentsabove, the working group recom-mends that the comparison of energyconsumption on a year-by-year basisform the major display on the EPC.

Eight bars have been considered,on the basis that the top four barswould denote, Good, Better, VeryGood and exceptional performance,and the bottom four bars would denoteBad, Worse, Very Bad and Dire perfor-mance. If we accept these definitions,careful consideration must be given tothe percentages represented by eachbar. Based on our experience in moni-toring energy performance over many

years, we recommend the followinggrading:

Grade A >15% savingGrade B 10% to 15% savingGrade C 5% to 10% saving Grade D 0% to 5% savingGrade E 0% to 5% increaseGrade F 5% to 10 % increaseGrade G 10% to 15% increaseGrade H >15% increase

What else should be included onthe EPC?We think the recording of the energyperformance over the past three yearsis a good idea and should form theminor graphical presentation on theEPC. This shows progress or otherwise,but there should be a space beneaththis bar chart to allow an explanationof any change in either direction.

Other items that can be includeddepending on what that particularfacility requests:

• Degree days either heating orcooling

• Water consumption

• Visitor numbers/Openinghours/Combination of visitors peropening hour

• Benchmark with similar buildings

• Visitor satisfaction rating

• Custodial benchmark

• Cleaning benchmark

This could also be left to theindividual institution to select whatis important to them.

Summing UpThe purpose of this proposal is toset out the procedure by which wecan produce an Energy PerformanceCertificate which will show the energyperformance of a building in a straight-forward manner. It is intended that aCertificate be produced for all buildingsthat facility managers feel would benefitfrom displaying such a certificate. Thus,there would be no rules—except in

the European Union, where it is man-datory for all public buildings—asto which buildings should have aCertificate, although having such acertificate will come to be acceptedas a demonstration of best practice.

We hope we have produced a doc-ument which will lead to the productionof an Energy Performance Certificatewhich can be recognized as beingstandard enough that is can be usedas an IAMFA certificate, while alsobeing flexible enough to be relevantto any number of different buildingswithin different facilities.

It was my pleasure to host membersof the IAMFA Board of Directors—Jim Moisson, Richard Kowalczyk, DanDavies and John de Lucy—in Ottawathis past February for our mid-yearmeeting. The opportunity for us tomeet face to face in the city where theannual conference will be held thatfall is the best way for Board membersto get firsthand accounts of the progressof the conference organizing committee,and to actually get a feel for what liesin store for delegates.

In addition to taking care of the usualbusiness of reporting and holding dis-cussions on all IAMFA activities, theBoard members and some of theirguests were able to visit the museumsand other venues that will be the high-lights of the conference. Starting withthe Château Laurier hotel, the Boardmembers will tell you that the accom-modations are first-rate with clean andcomfortable rooms, extraordinary archi-tecture as well as excellent service. Thehotel is located centrally to most of the

museum venues, and is right downtownnear shopping and restaurants.

Ed Richard and Pierrette Lagroisgraciously hosted a meeting betweenBoard members and the organizing

committee at the National Gallery ofCanada, where all the preparationsfor the upcoming conference werediscussed, decisions were made andmaterials were approved. I thenwelcomed Board members to theCanadian Museum of Civilization,showing them the Grand Hall whereour gala dinner will be held on thefinal day of the conference. Theyfound the Hall quite impressive as avenue for this event. I also gave thema behind-the-scenes tour of some ofour collections vaults. That evening,Black & McDonald, one of the mostgenerous sponsors of this year’s con-ference, graciously invited the Boardmembers to attend the closing dinnerof their annual Facility ManagersGeneral Meeting at the CanadianWar Museum, where they were able toshare information and have interestingdiscussions regarding our industry.

Ian MacLean graciously hosted toursof the Canada Science and TechnologyMuseum and the Canada AviationMuseum, which both promise to bevery interesting and informative venuesfor the delegates. Later on, I welcomed

Board members to the CanadianWar Museum for the official Boardof Directors meeting, where we dis-cussed ongoing IAMFA business suchas membership, finances, regionalchapters, Papyrus, the website andIAMFA’s strategic plan. I greatly appre-ciate all of the good work that eachmember of the Board performs withheart and enthusiasm. Our Associationis in very good shape because of theirefforts. Later that evening, the Boardmembers and their guests had dinnerat L’Orée du Bois, a French-Canadianrestaurant built inside an old farm-house, located in a forest setting inthe Gatineau Hills which is one of thevenues for the conference this fall.This dining experience was exquisite,to say the least, and we all look for-ward to sharing this experience withdelegates during the conference.

The final venue that the Boardmembers visited was the GovernorGeneral’s residence, which is part ofthe guest program, where a guidedtour provides a very interesting over-view of the history of the governanceof Canada from about four hundredyears ago until the present day.

I believe that I speak for my col-leagues when I say that you will findOttawa to be a very friendly and wel-coming city filled with history andiconic buildings, and that this year’sannual conference will be a mostbeneficial and rewarding experience

for all who attend. We look forward toseeing you in September.

earthquake and fire, half the facultyfled to Oakland, never to return. Theother half picked up and began again

in San Francisco which is why, to thisday, they have campuses in bothSan Francisco and Oakland.

One of the things that first strikesyou upon entering the main buildingis the openness, light and warmth ofthe space. The openness results fromthe high-bay, 90-foot [27-meter] spanthe arch construction provides, as wellas the chosen layout of a town squareor central piazza. Light floods in fromthe massive north-facing window wall,skylights and the glass west end whichcomprises the entry. In other areas,there are extensive skylights and appro-priate light installation. The warmthcomes from the building’s unique andeconomical solar collection/storagesystem and radiant slab floor system,which together are capable of heatingthe facility all year with no fuel costs.

:

The College’s philosophy dictatedthe layout, which is as open and versa-tile as possible. It is a philosophy basedon a notion of space held in an untitledor nomadic trust for all users. Classesare assigned space for a term, but will

be somewhere else next time around,as there are no departments or schoolsin dedicated spaces except for a fewequipment intensive shops, libraries, etc.This is supported by an open plan withplenty of utilities to support a range ofpursuits. Architecture professor DavidMeckel and Facility Director MichaelWelch were our hosts and guides, givingus a very lively and informative tour.

In the extensive wood shop, westopped to discuss the SawStop tablesaw they have, whose unique safetyfeature is a charge imparted to theblade which, when it is grounded bya nail or contact with flesh, stops andretracts in milliseconds. Another fasci-nating stop was the materials library,which stocks thousands of materialsamples supporting many disciplines.The tour also included two supportbuildings across the street housingstudios, and we viewed a third build-ing which was fully framed, despitebeing only been a slab at the beginningof the week: a prefab steel building.The overall impression we were leftwith was that CCA is a showplace of

versatility, openness and innovation.Each of us came away with ideas andcontacts to follow up. It was a greattour, thanks to David and Michael!

The 2008 joint meeting between IAMFA U.K. members andthe London Museum Group was held at the British Libraryon Wednesday, May 9. John de Lucy welcomed 23 gueststo the meeting, where the group heard presentations fromDuncan Boddy (H&S consultant for the National Gallery)about Managing Health and Safety in Construction. Duncanexplained that the most significant change was increasedresponsibility for clients, which was highly relevant tomembers of the audience.

Simon Tilleard (Natural History Museum) then gave thegroup an update on the work of MAGEC (Museum andGalleries Energy and Carbon Forum). He explained thatsignificant work had been done to produce good bench-marking information for the Museum and Gallery sector,and that this had been forwarded to the U.K. government,with an eye to establishing these figures for the purposes ofthe Energy Performance of Buildings Directive-specificallythe Energy Certificate. For those of you fortunate enoughto make it to London in 2008, you will hear more fromSimon and his colleagues at the Natural History Museum.

Finally, Jack Plumb (National Library of Scotland) describedthe progress that had been made with the proposed IAMFA

Energy Performance Certificate. By the time you readthis report, the details of those proposals will have beenpublished in the latest edition of Papyrus.

Milestones: Markers along the path totell us how far we have come, and howfar we still have to go. Several mile-stones have appeared on the path sinceour last issue. One marked the pointat which I moved from the NationalPortrait Gallery and the SmithsonianAmerican Art Museum to the NationalZoological Park—still the Smithsonian,but a whole different animal, if you’llpardon the pun. I reached that milestoneon February 4.

Since then, we have initiated asmall but crucial project upgradingsome of the Life Safety Systems in theSeal/Sea Lion habitat. One great bene-fit of this project has been the drasticreduction of water consumption inthis habitat, and the job is only halfdone. Within a few more weeks, weexpect to yield substantial additionalsavings. This is a big milestone.

Another milestone involves creden-tials. During the entire 12-year durationof my membership in IAMFA, I havealso maintained an active membershipin the International Facilities Manage-ment Association (IFMA), and I servedas President of its Museum and CulturalInstitution Council for several years.Along with a group of my D.C.-areapeers, I enrolled in a ten-course curricu-lum on nine competencies of FacilitiesManagement, given by George MasonUniversity. Completion of that courseof study prepared us to sit for the IFMACertified Facilities Manager exam. Iam the seventh Smithsonian CertifiedFacilities Manager. By the time thisissue of Papyrus goes to print, thatgroup may swell to ten or more. Thatis a milestone.

Sadly, along with all the good news,come challenges. My move to the Zoocame with an expectation that I would

collaborate with my peers in the Aquar-ium and Zoo Facilities Association(AZFA), much the way I have with mymuseum peers in IAMFA and IFMA. Ihad hoped this would merely add tomy exposure, but it appears to conflictwith these other two by landing squarelybetween them, and may force a choiceamong the three.

If I can remain involved in all threeassociations, and attend their respec-tive annual conferences in Ottawa,Tacoma and New Orleans, I will beaway from D.C. for about three weeksbetween mid-September and lateOctober—a tough time to be away, asschool trips descend on the Zoo. Atthe very least, I will need to consolidatemy role and relinquish my position asSecretary of the Board of IAMFA, andas Editor of this newsletter. A milestone,of the regrettable sort.

I have enjoyed my work here. Thepeople who do the real work behindthis newsletter—our publisher, SheilaSinghal at Artistic License, her sister,designer Neena Singhal at PhreddGrafix, and our printer Annie Williamsat Lake Litho—are still in place, andwill continue to provide the excellentproduct you receive as part of yourIAMFA membership benefit. TheEditor’s seat, however, is open. If youhave any interest in trying your handat this very rewarding role, please letme know. I’d be delighted to workwith you on the next issue and wecan start right now, as we head intothe Ottawa Conference. Papyrus isprimed and ready for the next seriesof exciting advances that comes witheach successive editor. Have you gotwhat it takes? Put your ideas right here.That’ll be a milestone.

In closing, a brief thanks to all whocontributed to Papyrus during mytenure. A special thanks to Sheila,Neena and Annie, who were inspira-tional in the creation of this, our firstcolor issue of Papyrus, and without

whom no newsletter would havereached your mailbox. Thanks also toGuy and the Board for their consistentsupport and encouragement.
