APPA continues its involvement in a number of programs focusing on aspects of environmental stewardship and campus sustainability. Within the past year, APPA has published two re- lated books in the new Critical Issues in Facilities Management series: Energy Efficiencies and Environmental Sustainabil- ity. Both titles have been selling well and are available in the APPA bookstore at www.appa.org/bookstore. APPA again serves on the program committee for the 10th annual Smart and Sustainable Campuses Conference, to be held March 30-31, 2015 in Bal- timore, Maryland. APPA and coordinating host, the University of Maryland, are the only two organizations that have been with the conference from its beginnings ten years ago. The conference theme is Honoring Our Past, Charting Our Future, and will include a wide array of presentations, workshops, plenary speakers, and exhibit hall business part- ners to provide a focused and manageable learning and networking opportunity. Learn more about the conference at www. sustainability.umd.edu/content/community/ SSCC.php. The March/April 2015 issue of Fa- cilities Manager will highlight campus sustainability and net-zero buildings, among other topics, and will be dis- tributed to attendees of the Smart and Sustainable Campuses Conference. Another effort that APPA supports from a content standpoint is the Cam- pus Environmental Resource Center, or CampusERC. The CampusERC was established to provide individu- als and educational institutions with the knowledge and tools to maintain environmental regulatory compliance, improve management, and operate sustainably. The CampusERC website was developed by a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and led by the National Association of Col- lege and University Business Officers, with content and promotional assistance from APPA, the Campus Safety Health and Envi- ronmental Management Association, and C2E2. We urge you to visit and use the resource center at www.campuserc.org. These are just a few of the ways in which APPA supports, develops, and promotes good environ- mental stewardship at educational institutions. Others include program- ming in energy, sustainability, and leader- ship at the Institute for Facilities Manage- ment and at our annual conference, the next of which will be August 4-6, 2015 in Chicago, Illinois. from the editor | by steve glazner President Randolph Hare, Washington and Lee University Executive Vice President E.
