In its fifth year the Nichols Green Facilities Conference will offer a full day of education about features, benefits and cost management of green buildings. Participants can expect a variety of workshop topics including Lean 5S in facilities management and case studies of LEED buildings (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design).

Our morning keynote speaker Alan Bigger, retired facilities director from Earlham College and Notre Dame University and author of the book “Frugalisms: Creative Ideas on Leadership in Facilities and Housekeeping Operations” will bring a front line message to conference participants. Alan will also be teaching a workshop later in the day titled “So you wish to do business with me ... the lean, green housekeeping machine”

Registration will be available starting Friday, January 22 2010.
