The Challenge vs. The Budget
By: Scottie Benjamin, Smithsonian &
Sandra Bravo-Greenberg, Gali Services
T
here is no doubt that the number of challenges
and problems today’s facility manager faces may
seem endless. Even though each obstacle is unique,
there is always one underlying question that occurs
to every FM: how does this
challenge affect my
budget? This question
crossed Scottie Benjamin’s
mind after a visitor
dropped something on
the stairs at the American
History Museum, causing
two glass panels to crack.
The first thing the maintenance team had to
contend with was making the stairs safe for use
while waiting for the repair to be made, then getting
budget approval, and finally purchasing and installing the replacements.
As the Facility Manager for the Smithsonian Institution-Office of Facilities Management & Reliability, Scottie Benjamin’s first task was working with
his maintenance team to make the staircase safe.
They used plant potters to cover the broken panes
of glass to keep people from walking on the
damaged panes and causing any damage to the
stairs or people.
So, what did Scottie do next? He needed to put
in a capital project budget request and work to have
the project added to the museum’s project list in
order to receive the funds. “If emergencies happen,
we have to use our base amount received for maintenance. Some of our large projects are put on the
capital project list and the list is managed by an
office that takes care of projects for all of the Smithsonian museums,” said Scottie. Luckily, the request
was accepted by capital
projects and the accident did not affect his
budget in any other way.
With the project approved to move forward,
Scottie’s challenge still
wasn’t over. He and his
team had a hard time
finding the glass panels
to match. “The original
panels were ordered from an overseas market. After
a long search, similar panels were located from a
stateside company. The company visited the
museum to do the measurements and the panels
were sized to fit,” explained Scottie.
Moving forward, Scottie will have to continue to
monitor how much he spends on projects from year
to year in order to gauge what he needs to ask for
the following year in terms of his budget. As for the
glass panels, Benjamin definitely is prepared if the
accident were to happen again; “We did order a few
extra panels and have them in place just in case this
happens again.”
Career Day
By: John Lucien Grillo, CFM, FMP, Google
I
arrived at Gaithersburg Middle School on the day just before Christmas break to participate in the school’s annual Career Day - a kind of
show-and-tell where the students get to learn about the cool things
that we grown-ups are doing between 9-to-5. I was determined to
share something special about Facilities Management that would
resonate with this future generation of professionals.
So I loaded up my presentation with a collection of cool pictures
from Google offices around the world, grabbed my hardhat, and started
“talking shop” with a group of very energetic (very, very energetic) 5th
Graders. Making FM sound cool to a bunch of kids is harder than you’d

Transition
S
o this is my last letter to you as your Chapter President. I was prepared to provide a host of
numbers and “stats” to provide grounding to what I believe was a rewarding and meaningful
year of contributions to our members. But taking stock of your personal experience will be a much
more compelling yardstick. What you will find is if you put something in…you got something out.
This year that happened—a lot. We established a very solid financial trend, saw increases in the
variety and attendance at our programs, established a new and highly successful sponsorship
approach and witnessed the influx of new people in roles of impact and leadership where the
Chapter has needed them.
Those accomplishments come from the deliberate planning of the Chapter Leadership. I want
to thank the Executive Committee (EC) Geoff Snavely, Immediate Past President; Lynn Bradfield,
President-Elect; David Samec, Treasurer; and our VP’s: Darlene Frantz, CFM, Mike Petrusky, and Mary
Ellen Quinn. They have individually done tremendous work on your behalf. However, what has left
a lasting impression on me has been how collectively a culture was established to “swarm” on a
project or a problem. No time was wasted on worrying about what short-coming or mistake may
have caused a situation, beyond to identify what to avoid in the future. The fix quickly came into
focus, and talent was applied wherever it could best lead to successful outcomes. This leadership
team constantly evaluated the progress of the Chapter through the lens of strategic goals. They
have advanced us by achieving those goals.
Peter Drucker once said, “Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate
into hard work.” That hard work occurred through the effort of our board members and their highly
effective teams: Peter Geiling, CFM (Montgomery County Public Schools); Matt Kutzler (FEA); Gary
McElvey (Siemens); Anamaria Mihuta, CFM (M.C. Dean); Joy Newton-Grubb (Spacesaver Interiors);
Mayra Portalin, SFP (FEA); Jim Stevens (JK Moving Services); and, Kim Wright (V&F Coffee and Office
Products). These chapter members led teams that set new records, invited new people to join them
and embraced change for the good of you and your chapter. Find them and thank them.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
At this writing there is a month and a half left to my term. So, I end this year as I began it…exhorting you to join me. Engage! In the remaining time attend some of the wonderful professional development programs, the baseball game and of course, the Awards Celebration that will put a
capstone on a memorable and productive year for our Chapter.

Anamaria Mihuta, CFM, FMP. . . . 571-334-1890
I have one more thing to ask of you. Affirm your colleagues’ willingness to serve you and this
Chapter by voting when you receive your ballot to determine the Chapter’s future leaders.

Capital News • May/June 2015
The slate is excellent and was an initiative led and successfully executed by Geoff Snavely (MilliCare by EBC Carpet Services). As you know, you’ve already elected the President for 2015-2016,
Lynn Bradfield. I am so excited to see the next steps this Chapter will take under her leadership; she
will be at the helm of a highly talented EC as they plunge into the new fiscal year. You can look
forward to more opportunities to learn, participate and expand your impact in the Chapter and
our profession locally, nationally, and internationally.
Finally, my thanks to the dozens of Chapter colleagues both associate members and practitioners,
who were willing to try something new this year in terms of supporting the work of this Chapter
to promote the FM profession, support their fellow members and impact the community and the
world. I have been honored to be a part of such an august group. Thank you for the opportunity!
Sincerely,
R. Case Runolfson, CFM

Do you roll your eyes when you hear
the word social media?
2. Connect with similar professionals via
LinkedIn. This is an opportunity to keep on
top of industry news/trends and to share
information. You can share your own best
practices our troubleshoot issues with your
peers. Remember to join the IFMA Capital
Chapter Group.
By: Cindy Matter, Spacesaver Systems
W
e are very busy and often look at social
media as a waste of time. At one time,
upper management might have even
thought you were “goofing off” on social
media platforms during work hours. However,
social media platforms are in the business
world and have become important components of communication strategies. It is time
to dip your toes in the water and here are
some great benefits to facility managers.
3. Tweet, not me. Even if you don’t tweet yourself,
simply subscribing to top media resources and
important industry organizations, you can stay
informed quickly and efficiently. The IFMA
Capital Chapter is on Twitter @IFMAcap.
1. Go GREEN! Use Facebook, Twitter and
LinkedIn to share information about
sustainable (and other) initiatives. Keep
your co-workers informed on recycling
plans, energy efficiency initiatives,
maintenance updates or how to respond
in an event of an emergency. This allows
instant communication whether your
co-workers are at a meeting outside of
the office, working remotely or on
business travel.
4. It makes you “legit”. In the eyes of the
millennium generation, if you aren’t online it
makes you appear less impressive. It is a great
way to share tips, opportunities and ideas
with the workforce and your colleagues.
Most importantly, these platforms are all free
and an easy way to boost your exposure. Go ahead,
jump in! Remember to join the members only
IFMA Capital Chapter Group.

FM Corner
CFM Spotlight
Bill Turner, CFM
The World Bank
By: Gary McKelvey, Siemens
O
n a brisk morning I had the pleasure of sitting down to discuss Facility Management
with Bill Turner. Bill has been around the facilities community for awhile, starting in
the 90’s as a design assistant. He’s seen the profession grow to what has become facilities
management, and he has an interesting view on where the next 10-15 years will be going.
In the 1990’s Bill started working at the IMF on the design side, while the IMF was in
the midst of expansion in DC. Bill helped the designers with their special needs, managed
the furniture and carpet inventory and began managing architectural finishes and
carpet cleaning contracts. As the institution grew he saw an opportunity to move to
the operations and maintenance side of FM assisting with the coordination and management of multiple appearance care contracts and getting more involved in environmental, health and safety. He enjoys the multiple sides of FM juggling many items at
one time; the diversity of his daily requirements keeps him energized! He finds satisfaction when he is able to complete several tasks in a particular day, as everyone knows
that is no small feat within facilities management. As he saw the FM profession grow,
he started getting involved with the Capital Chapter and became interested in obtaining the CFM. Initially he felt he was too busy to complete the course, but as he faced
different challenges over the years, he began looking at the CFM certification again.
Once he completed the test, he felt the certification validated the vast knowledge it
takes to be a FM.
The daily challenges of being a facility manager keep Bill on his toes. He mentions, “The
best planning will be changed when you walk in the door and face a new challenge from
the previous evening. Sometimes you get a feeling and ask, ‘What broke?’” The toughest
challenges he has faced as an FM were HAZMAT incidents in the early 2000’s. Over the
years the requirements of an FM have changed, there is more documentation now. While
some items have become a bit easier, the pace of work has certainly become faster.
Over the next few years, Bill sees the FM profession growing in leaps and bounds. He
specifically sees the use of tablets, phones, and apps becoming more prevalent. He
sees the ability to adapt to new technologies and utilizing technology to become more
efficient as keys to being a successful FM today and in the future. Bill says it is no longer
pushing a pencil and making a phone call, a FM is sending an email, updating a database,
and then meeting with customers, vendors, and personnel, all within a few minutes
and away from your desk. In many ways the FM of today and the future will be juggling
more items at once, and one key attribute stays true: being well organized will help a
FM be successful.
As Bill has gone through his career, he has relied on the Capital Chapter through the
years as a resource. He mentioned that many times it has been colleagues within the
chapter that have helped him get through some challenges. The camaraderie and
friendships he has made within the chapter have helped him professionally and are
long lasting.

“Being a young working professional with
small children (at the time) it was important
for me to find a Facilities Management training program that offered flexible schedules.
Through IFMA, I learned about the Facilities
Management program offered by George
Mason University. The instructors were industry professionals and subject matter experts. In most cases, I was able to
successfully apply specific concepts learned in the course to actual work
tasks that were assigned to me. Attending the FM courses offered at
George Mason was one of the best educational decisions I have made
to advance my career.” CJ Lucas, Supervisor, Work Control Center, Facilities Management, American University

FACILITY MANAGEMENT | CLEANING | SECURITY | PROPERTY | CATERING | SUPPORT SERVICE
I started my career in facilities management 20 years ago. My
first job in FM was working in the hospitality industry as an engineering coordinator for a newly constructed luxury hotel in Washington, DC. I was responsible for coordinating the clerical and
administrative aspects of engineering projects which included
scheduling vendors and contractors, recording construction
meeting minutes, developing a file system for O&M documents
and tracking warranty and punch-list items
Over the years, working in hospitality, corporate and higher
education environments, has given me the chance to learn, develop
and demonstrate my skills and experience in facilities operations.
Having broad knowledge, practical experience and thorough
understanding of the inner workings of facilities management has
allowed me the opportunity to work my way up through the ranks.
I have held multiple positions and my experience in facilities management is extremely diverse. Some examples of this position I
have held are; accounting assistant, engineering coordinator, construction project assistant, purchasing agent, materials expeditor,
facilities assistant, quality assurance supervisor, facilities supervisor,
customer service manager, facilities manager.
I truly enjoy working in facilities management because no two
days are the same; the work requires teamwork and collaboration.
I really like the constant human interaction and satisfaction that
comes with supporting building operations and helping customers resolves issues and problems.

Career Day
Continued from page 1
think, but imagine for a moment how you might
do it…
...Have an idea? Keep in mind that you’ve only
got about 10 minutes.
I started by asking the younger kids what they
thought a typical Facility Manager might do. Lots
of hands went up and the suggestions flooded
in. You manage facilities, came one sly remark. It’s
right, of course, but there’s so much more!
I chose to focus my presentation on the four
core aspects of FM - People, Processes, Places,
and Technology - and speak to how each of
these plays a role in the work that FMs do every
day. And it worked out amazingly well. Perhaps
the most interesting thing about describing FM
to these young students was the fact that none
of them were surprised that a job like mine
exists in the first place. It seemed obvious to
these kids that someone needs to take care of
buildings. The difference is that now they have
a name for it - and that just might help to create
a future generation of FM leaders.
