Mid-Summer Ramblings: Good News. Bad News.
It has been a couple of weeks since the Summer Leaders Meeting in Indianapolis. I am confident in saying that from all indications, the meeting venue in downtown Indy was indeed successful. Those leaders in attendance came together as a team to consider how to move ISA forward in these tough economic times. I am honored to be associated with such a highly professional group.
One of our Members and a Distinguished Service Award recipient, Douglas A. Decker, P.E., has been selected for induction into the inaugural class of twenty-two members to the Energy Efficiency Forum Hall of Fame. The induction ceremonies were held in Washington DC on 15 June 2009, prior to the start of the 20th Annual Energy Efficiency Forum held at the National Press Club.
After graduating from the University of Denver with a B.S. Degree in Business Administration and Engineering, Decker started a 43-year career with Johnson Controls Inc., a Fortune 100 company—rising to the position of Vice President, Government Business, before retiring in 2001.
Twenty years ago, Decker conceived the necessity of an annual forum on energy efficiency in which national and international leaders in government and business would come together to share ideas on energy efficient concepts and their implementation. This was the beginning of the annual Energy Efficiency Forum, co-sponsored by Johnson Controls Inc. and the US Energy Association. Decker served as chairman of the forum for its first twelve years, until his retirement.
I am pleased to offer sincere congratulations on behalf of ISA to Douglas on this great achievement.

On a sad note, we lost another former ISA President, Keith Herbst—ISA President 1989. I came to know Keith over the years through my various positions within ISA. I was always impressed with his high level of dignity and professionalism. Keith was a classy individual who had a profound effect on this ISA leader. I will always think of Keith Herbst as one of those leaders I would most like to emulate. Keith will be missed. May he rest in peace!
