Testimonials Stream In From the Education Facilities Management Forum in Dallas, Texas
The Education Facilities Management Forum took place in Dallas, Texas on April 25 & 26, 2016. Feedback is streaming in from attendees already! Here's what they have to say about their Forum Experience: "Forum did a great job! Positively was beyond my expectation! Love the layout, the best one I have been to yet!" "This was my first time at an event like this format and it was great. I loved time with the companies without any pressure or sales pitch. All of them even said to just call and ask questions about anything. Great job by the Forum Events staff before, during, and after the event. Thanks!" "The Forum was a great experience in allowing direct one-on-one contact with potential vendors. Having the opportunity to meet with several in a day with specific time frames made it much easier to get to the point and look at specific opportunities." "The one-on-one meetings with vendors allowed me to ask questions that pertained to my particular facility without interrupting or listening to others who had different needs than my own. The time allowed for these meetings was just right, enough to demonstrate the need for the product without it really being a sales pitch." "Very nice! Enjoyed the event. Well organized and the Forum staff were very helpful. Thanks for the invite!" "The ability to pre-select vendors prior to the event made my experience and met my organization's needs. Liked the schedule and format. Employees were friendly and helpful. As my district prepares for a new bond program, the contacts here were great. I also like it when companies bring demos of some of their latest products, as I need to see it and touch it to understand its capabilities."

The Healthy Schools Project
The importance of sanitation in schools is obvious. Given the current threat of a contagious virus, school authorities are on especially high alert to boost sanitation procedures and ensure student safety. The Kimberly-Clark Professional Healthy Schools Project gave education facility managers and directors insight into how to manage during their workshop at the Education Facilities Management Forum in Chicago, IL.
Andrea Burich led the workshop filled with guests from James Korfas of ISS and Jessica Holloway from Malcolm X College. She pointed out that the common cold costs Americans more than 189 million school days a year, almost $14.5 billion in lost productivity - the Healthy Schools Project aims to save schools money, time, productivity and to maintain the health of students.
The dirtiest places in an education facility are the door handles and shared water fountains. While most schools have protocols in place to reduce the spreading of germs - like regular wipe downs - the Healthy Schools Project has implemented a plan that places hand sanitizer at key hot spots, making cleanliness easily accessible. By combining the placement of sanitation projects with hygiene programs in schools, the Healthy Schools Project has reduced germs by 51% at the elementary level and 43% at the university level.
The project pairs hygiene programs with sanitation projects and marketing that enhances school image. Using posters and signage throughout facilities, the project raises awareness and reminds student to protect themselves in high-germ environments.
Offering certified green products, Kimberly-Clark Professional works one-on-one with schools to develop a plan that is personalized to the school's needs and budgets.
