ET 2017 Page 1 President’s Message

Marcene N. Taylor, CPE ASPE National President [email protected]

I am so excited about this year’s A Mile High Summit in Denver. The plans for the Summit embody our Core Values.

We care passionately about....

Education: Educating and mentoring the next generation of professional estimators. Professionalism: Promoting professional estimating as a lifelong pursuit of excellence and credibility. Fellowship: Developing a network of industry leaders and peers to which belonging is worthwhile. In years past, the focus of our Annual Meeting and Estimating Summit was on the internal Society business. This is the first year under our new bylaws and our attention can be spent truly dedicated to the Core Values.

The theme of this year’s Summit is the Art and Science of Estimating. This theme recognizes that being an estimator requires not just technical skills, such as knowledge of software trends and estimate analysis, but also personal skills such as team building and presentations. The educational lineup at this year’s Summit is top notch. Not only will you earn Professional Development Units toward your CPE renewal, but you will also be taught relevant skills that will help you individually in your work as a professional estimator.

In addition to the educational offerings, the Summit is our opportunity to renew relationships and develop new ones with our peers throughout the country. This year’s Summit has been professionally planned to provide opportunities for fellowship with sponsors and other estimators. We are also excited about the opportunity to spend some time away from the host hotel in the City of Denver.

I encourage you to look at the agenda for the Summit and seriously consider attending this year. It will be valuable to you as an individual for professional development. This is our first year of the new Summit and just the beginning of what we are planning to offer in upcoming years. I believe that we will sell out the available slots this year, so register early; and I look forward to seeing you in Denver!

Doug Henson, CPE -- Jester, Mentor & Friend

Words can hardly do justice to the memories and gratitude I owe this gentleman. I have had the privilege of knowing Doug since 1997. Working together with Doug at Baldwin & Shell was a life changing experience. He had a quick wit and was quite the practical joker, but when it came to work he was a ferocious lion. He was awesome with clients, stern with employees but fair as anyone could be. If you chose to pay attention, you could learn a lot from Doug. He exemplified the leadership qualities that one would hope to emulate. HTETCO New Air Condition I am indebted to him for getting me involved in ASPE. His encouragement and motivation System To An Existing helped me attain by personal best and led me into the leadership roles not only locally but na- tionally as well. I had the honor of having Doug attend our Annual Meeting in Indianapolis and install the ASPE officers the year I took over the helm as President. Receiving my Fellow in Storage Warehouse his presence meant the world to me. I was very emotional and I will cherish for a lifetime that I was able to share those days with my long time mentor in the industry.

I learned so much from Doug. He and his lovely wife Vicki are the true definition of friend ship. They both always looked out for others and put those needs above their own. Life passes oh so quickly. We need to take time to cherish friendships and make an extra effort to hold on By:Isam Ghandour, CPE to them in our lives.
