Welcome to "The Workout" Welcome to the July issue of TMA Nevada's The Workout. We continue to make this newsletter a valuable tool where TMA Nevada members can share their expertise; keep up-to-date on industry trends; meet TMA new comers, and learn something interesting and useful in the process. The Workout will be TMA Nevada member-driven through such sections as "Members' Bylined Articles" and "Members in the News." *Breaking News
We have made a few changes to the event calendar for the remainder of the year, including the addition of a breakfast event on August 20, 2008

Moving in the Right Direction Requires Using the Right Stuff Article: Business Failures - by: Patrick W. Wisman, CTP
The Common Thread Call For By-Lined Articles The Workout is a vehicle to showcase the expertise of TMA Nevada members. To this end, we are soliciting by-lined articles. The guidelines are simple; choose a topic that is timely and relevant to your fellow TMA members. No specific length or word count is required, but generally speaking, the article should be approximately 600 to 800 words. Plan on submitting your article within one week following the monthly TMA Nevada meeting for possible inclusion in the next month's issue. Don't be concerned if you think your journalistic skills aren't up to speed, The Workout editorial staff can help you with editing. Of course, nothing will go to print until you approve the final copy. Please send all submissions to Liz Gamble, editor, The Workout at lizgamble@ckprrm.com. Members In The Media Occasionally, we will run a column that highlights TMA Nevada's members' appearance in the media. If you have been quoted in an article within the local media, professional trade publications, and national media or on the web, please send a notice of the media appearance and the web link to the article to Mark Cenicola. You can contact him through the membership directory. Information of Interest from National Each issue of The Workout will provide links to articles and information from the TMA national office as well as other chapters. TMA Nevada Committees "Momentum" is the word to describe TMA Nevada Committee activities: Membership 1. The Membership Committee is exploring avenues for recruiting and retaining members including the development of new member information packages, *welcome lunches and periodic satisfaction surveys to our members about our endeavors. 2. The Speaker/Ambassador Committee is designing a speaker's bureau toward the goal of scheduling speaking engagements for TMA Nevada members before appropriate professional and civic organizations. 3. The TMA Nevada Membership Directory was officially launched at the June 25th meeting.

RECAP OF: "Green Nevada: Turnaround Stories in Conserving Our Natural Resources" During the June 25 meeting, TMA Nevada members learned that going "Green" could be done efficiently and economically. Panelists Craig S. Galati, principal of Lucchesi Galati Architect, Inc. and Quentin Abramo, president of Faciliteq Architectural Interiors, which focuses on providing product solutions for "green buildings," dispelled the commonly held notion that "to go green" automatically means spending more money. According to the speakers, a green building is often described as one that minimizes its negative environmental impact. There needs to be a fundamental mindset change that recognizes a green building serves the needs of the people who inhabit it, supporting and nurturing their health, satisfaction, productivity, and spirit. The creation of a green building requires the careful application of the acknowledged strategies of sustainable architecture nontoxic construction, the use of durable, natural, resource efficient materials, reliance on the sun for day lighting, thermal and electric power, and recycling of wastes into nutrients. Are we there yet? Certainly not. Sustainability remains driven primarily by tax incentives and many new and renovated buildings include some, but not all, green elements, but we are off to a good start. It is anticipated that there will be a push over the next decade to build more sustainable buildings with an eye toward a better use of limited resources. Just as important is an interior designed to support a green building. The use of a raised floor system Progress Continues. Progress continues on the recently launched membership programs and benefits: Mark Cenicola and his team at Cenicola-Helvin Enterprises have been working tirelessly on the TMA-Nevada web site with the launch of the Membership Directory. As mentioned at the June meeting, TMA members are encouraged to browse the directory and login to update their own profile at http://www.tmaofnevada.com/membership-directory/ In case your missed it, here's a link to the Power Point presentation cover the features of the Membership Directory. Make sure to run it in Presentation Mode, otherwise it may look funny! Contact Information
