Letter from our President

Monday, May 2, 2022

Greetings Facility Leaders!

There was in 2020 considerable unrest and uncertainty. We learned in 2021 that disruption is sometimes our greatest teacher. In 2022, all of us ushered in the school year with students on campus.

Robust preparations were required, again. We created our own road map, again. We also uncovered from each other best practices that we adopted on our own campuses.

Collectively, we have implemented remedies that were quite similar and, yet, there are still varying opinions on a host of solutions. The pandemic inspired healthy building initiatives and a host of others protocol. In light of the pandemic, we have explored ways to harness opportunities for growth and new thinking as teaching and learning evolve. 

There is still much to share and learn from each other. It is the foundation of what the alliance is intended to do. It is with this mission in mind that we ask for you to consider joining us as we resume in-person meetings. Of course, we will honor the same safety protocols that we require during our regular school day.

The format is oriented around topics worthy of discussion. The next meeting in May will be an open forum hosted @ the Mannington Showroom. Our June meeting will also be an open forum hosted @ the Global Showroom. The annual cookout will be hosted at Stone Ridge; Andrew Harrington will provide the specific date and addtional details.

As always, if there is anything that you wish to share and include during future meetings, we welcome your insights. As we prepare for graduation, also have a terrific summer.

Michael Joyce

Director of Facilities, Holton-Arms School
