MILTON BAINES - EMPLOYEE OF THE QUARTER
Congratulations are in order for Supervisor of Controls
Information Center, Milton Baines, on his well
deserved Employee of the Quarter win!
Milton started his career with Emory University in
August 2003 in the Controls Shop. In May 2005, he
was promoted to Supervisor.
As stated by his nominator, Dee Sneed, Assistant
Director for Building & Residential Services, “Milton is
a great leader that always shares his knowledge with others.” Everyone on his team is
grateful that he encourages their growth and offers hands on training. Dee Sneed,
adds that Milton is “a quiet presence that is vital to our organization. He doesn’t expect
his staff to do work that he won’t do himself.”
Milton has been very supportive in promoting training and career growth for his team.
He is also willing to educate. Mike Wallace, Control System Oper/Tech II said,
"Milton wants to make sure that his entire staff is well trained. Anything that he knows,
he makes sure that his team knows.” Mike also feels that Milton embodies the
characteristics of a great leader. “He creates a family atmosphere among our team.
Milton takes us to lunch, inquires about our families, and treats us with respect.” He
teaches his team to always take the high road in any situation. “Milton really cares about
his team, the staff, and the university. He is a wonderful person who is continuously
moving Emory forward.”

LEADERSHIP TEAM SPOTLIGHT
SPOTLIGHT ON: DEBBIE MOYERS
AVP OF CAMPUS SERVICES ADMINISTRATION
STOP THE WORLD I WANT TO GET OFF
Do you ever feel like you are trapped in such a fast paced world that there is
no way you’ll ever survive…..changes are coming daily, weekly, hourly, at
the speed of light and all you can do is grab a rope, tie a knot in the end and
hang on for dear life? Well, if this sounds familiar, rest assured you are not
alone. We are living in an age and a society that is demanding each of us to
own a computer and know how to use it, to be available to our families and
friends and in many cases our employers through some electronic gadgetry,
24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year and to never, ever stop
learning new things whenever the opportunity presents itself.
That being said, I would like to share a personal experience with you. A couple of years ago on the advice of
my son-in-law, my husband and I bought a new TV, with a whole bunch of accessories: a CD/DVD player,
some sort of box to control the speakers, a fancy tuner, oh and also, several sets of interior and exterior
speakers. I was so happy to think that just with the push of one “little ole on button” we would have total
entertainment right at our fingertips. I was, also, naïve enough to think that learning to use this mess of
cables, buttons and wires that ran everywhere out of the rear of the TV cabinet would be easy; so there was
no need to write down the instructions from my son-in-law as we turned it all on for the first time and he
led us through using it. Well let me tell you; that could not have been further from the truth. Every time we
tried watching a movie or listening to music we either ended up in an argument over which remote control
needed to be on and what the input selection needed to be or, you guessed it, we had to call our son-in-law
for yet another round of instructions.
I have to admit I think most of our frustration came from fear of the unknown and wondering what would
happen if we hit the wrong button at just the right time. Would the entire house go up in a puff of smoke?
I, also, think that while our son-in-law was very patient in guiding us repeatedly through the steps to use
this new fangled technology, it became apparent we had a communication problem, caused mostly by a
generation gap.
So what was the outcome? We finally committed to spending the necessary time it took to learn to use all
the components. We listened attentively and wrote down the information as our son-in-law provided a
final tutorial on how to use each piece of equipment; we asked questions when we didn’t understand
something; and, we convinced ourselves in our own minds that learning something new was a good thing
and we both agreed to put forth the effort necessary to be successful.
As it turned out, our situation was not unlike many of the challenges we face every day in the workplace.
Our jobs require that we be willing to learn something new, to face challenges with a can do attitude and to
be there to support each other with a little push toward accepting change when we start dragging our feet.
So I ask each of you, “What are you going to do the next time you are faced with a change in how you do
your job or you are asked to learn something new? Will you dig in your heels and refuse or will you soar
into the future embracing change and being excited that learning is one of life’s greatest freedoms.

Emory Recycles pulled a team from Campus Services and the staff of EHSO to form a collaboration between
Emory divisions to recycle 90% of the material from the 5th floor of the Briarcliff Campus School of Medicine
space. EHSO inspected and removed hazardous materials ensuring the space was safe and properly prepared for
Campus Services staff to remove all other items. On Saturday, August 27th, Staging, Waste, Recycling, Roads,
and Grounds team members were instructed on how to clear the rooms and sort and separate all materials to be
recycled from the rooms cleared by EHSO. Together, we were able to divert most of the material from the labs
and offices on the 5th floor to construction, single stream, metals, and electronics recycling. We filled four thirty
yard open top containers with recyclables and estimated only 20-25 bags of trash were sent to the Georgia landfills. Further, we collected nearly 4 pallet sized boxes that contain lab consumables/supplies that will be directed
to MedShare for distribution to their third world partners in great need of these items.
What typically would have been thrown in the landfills was sorted, separated, and sent to charitable organization
to support relief efforts around the world.
Thanks for all Exterior Services staff and the team at Environmental Health and Safety!
