USGBC-Missouri Gateway is committed to recognizing volunteers who have contributed significantly to the Chapter, devoting time and talents “above and beyond” on a particular project or program. This month, we are happy to recognize Don Thieman, A.S.P. Enterprises, Inc., a valued member of the Marketing Committee for several years.
In addition to contributing great ideas and questions during committee discussions and brainstorming sessions, Don also serves as back-up committee secretary and—most important—he orchestrates the chapter’s ongoing Herculean effort to build a library of Project Profiles (case studies) of the LEED-certified buildings in our region.
When Don took on the Project Profile challenge in mid-2009, he started by crafting a questionnaire and letter to LEED building owners and recruiting a team of dedicated volunteer researchers to collect project information. Over the past 18 months, undaunted by non-responsive building owners, unwieldy Google Docs tools, and cumbersome templates, he has contacted owners himself, tracked volunteers’ progress, and worked with chapter staff to define a logical process and create practical tools. Because of Don’s persistence, organization, and dedication, dozens of Project Profiles are now in the pipeline.
Thanks Don, for your persistence and dedication in recognizing & celebrating the importance of LEED projects to our region’s green success!
