Before anything else, I would first like to thank all of you for donating to our <strong>CEAC</strong>’s fundraiser. All proceeds will benefit Cheers for Charity, which assists area families during the holiday season. Our donation of $3,400 well exceeded our goal of $2,500. Congratulations go out to Pat Oliphant, Brian Staunton and Joseph Lynch, who were the winners of the Charity Raffle. Our last educational meeting hosted by the <strong>CEAC</strong> and presented by United Building & Energy Services’ Principal and Owner, Lance Rock, was a huge success. If you were unable to participate in the webinar, the entire video along with the basic calculations discussed are located on our website at www.chiefengineer.org. The importance of being prepared for reviewing the sequence of operation is valuable at this time. You may want to start locating and reviewing your basis of design and sequence of operation prints. Sooner, rather than later, you may be called upon to articulate what changes your systems can undergo in order to make your facilities safe for occupancy. There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to saving energy! ComEd® Energy Efficiency Program incentives can help make building and process improvements that save energy more affordable. Register for our Feb. 17, <strong>2<strong>02</strong>1</strong>, webinar from 11:00am-noon to learn how you can help make your facility more energy efficient and cost effective. We’ll share project ideas and provide tips on how to take advantage of these FREE services and valuable incentives. In <strong>February</strong>, the board meeting is especially important, as we will be planning for the next year’s events and presenting plans, and budgets for each. This year continues to be unpredictable, and it’s difficult to say at this time what exactly our events calendar will look like — though I think we can count on the Golf Outing going forward as it did last year — but we will keep everyone apprised as best we can.

Carey Past President 312-744-2672 As we go forward into <strong>2<strong>02</strong>1</strong>, I’m confident that everyone is observing their usual regimen of coil cleaning, infrared scanning and vibration analysis at this time. Please remember, as we proceed with our building maintenance, that if you need any outside work done, to please consult your Quick Shopper to support our Associate members who do so much to support us and our organization. Thank you. Sincerely, Tom Phillips Volume 86 · Number 2 | 5
