The Challenge

This is the article that started it all. A coworker and friend was elected Vice-President of the Wyoming Custodian Association. One of the duties of that position is the newsletter. I wrote this, paring it way down to accommodate a 2 page newsletter. But it has served as the basis for everything I do on this subject. This version here, is even more pared down from the original article, because it focuses only on the challenge. It is part of some of the workshop material that I provide at workshops.

Once you issue the challenge, it must be presented. At my Professional Custodian workshops, I always begin by asking; How many of you here think of yourselves as a Professional?

A few tentative hands is what I usually get in response.

What say you?

Seeking comments on the What is this Blog page.

What does it mean to be a “professional” for the public facility custodian?

That my friends is the reason for this blog.

My name is JS (Steve) Sturdevant. I am operating on two tracks with this question:

• As a Contributing Board Member of the Wyoming Custodian Assocation
  • Always presenting a workshop with that title at our annual conference
• As a general focus of interest, research, and internet developer of a process that can be outlined and defined and thus taught in workshops and consults.
  • Working to take the general to the specific.
