The NEBB Professional 2024 - Quarter 2

Executive Vice President’s Update

We can all agree that accessibility is key to fostering growth and success within the industry. Recognizing this, the Florida Chapter, under the amazing support of chapter coordinator Terry Wichlenski, operates five days a week, ensuring that firms have ample opportu nities to engage, seek guidance, and access the array of services offered. This commitment to availability underscores the chapter's dedication to supporting the needs of firms across Florida, regardless of size or specialization. Terry has served as the coordinator for over 10 years and is a source of knowledge and profes sionalism. I recently had the honor to meet with Terry to hear more about the Florida chapter and its commit ment and initiatives within the NEBB community. Let's delve into the myriad ways in which the NEBB Florida Chapter, otherwise known as FEBB, is revolutionizing the ways a chapter can support their NEBB firms.

The relationship between NEBB and its chapters is one of mutual support, collaboration, and shared goals. NEBB serves as the overarching organization responsible for setting industry standards, providing certification programs, and promoting excellence in environmental balancing and building performance. Meanwhile, NEBB chapters operate at the regional or local level, serving as the primary interface between NEBB and professionals within their respective regions. In Florida, the NEBB Chapter stands as a beacon of ex cellence, offering a suite of extended services tailored to meet the diverse needs of firms across the state, as well as investing in the future of the industry. With a com mitment to professionalism, education, and support, the Florida NEBB Chapter has become a leader among the NEBB chapters, providing resources that elevate the ser vices a chapter offers to NEBB Certified Firms.
