Hello MOSHE members. 2020 + COVID x .75 = The year is more than half over, and what a strange one it has been! That being said, I feel like it is “Groundhog Day.” We keep pressing on, things change daily, but it is still all the same. I must say this upfront…I am tired of the news, the commercials, the upcoming election rhetoric, the gloom and doom, the intentional misrepresentation of facts, and all the other nonsensical noise that is filling our world. I will do my best not to participate in that. However, I will be presenting about COVID at our seminar on September 30.

So where is MOSHE in 2020 + COVID x .75? Certainly we are not as social as in 2019. I miss seeing members at the meetings. Emails and Zoom are not the same, even when we let our faces show on the computer screen. That being said, we have adapted fairly well to our new format for our educational sessions. Most of the bugs have been worked out, and we have had good attendance.

REMINDER: MOSHE's Annual One Day Seminar,"Facilities Management - What is Our New Normal?", will be held on September 30th, with options to attend in-person or virtually. There are only 30 seats left for in-person attendance, so please register soon!

The ASHE Annual Conference, will be held on October 5-7, and will be virtual this year. Click here for more information.

I thought that “in person” surveys were resuming, but I have not heard of anyone having surveyors in the building. I am not sure if TJC has decided what they are going to do. However, when surveys do restart, hospitals are further down the list.
