We'll talk about what lies in store within the maintenance industry in the 21st century. Natalie Bullock Brown moderates.

Maintenance Crisis Powerpoint and Song
Every day, the media bombards us with stories of a new crisis that seems to threaten the existence of life on planet earth: melting icecaps, Irans nuclear ambitions, civil war in Iraq, rising oil prices, the growing shortage of maintenance men .
Come again?
If youre unaware of the crisis in the maintenance industry, its not for lack of effort on the part of Joel Leonard, who says that deferring the maintenance of both private and public infrastructure has already claimed thousands of lives.
New Orleans was an accident waiting to happen, says Leonard, referring to the levee failure following Hurricane Katrina. We all know it, but none of the government people had enough guts or foresight to say, Hey, well put that money into it. Thats a real sad case. Deferred maintenance is not preferred maintenance."
To draw public attention to the crisis, Leonard has turned to a medium long used by those seeking to jumpstart a movement: song. His lyrics to the Maintenance Crisis Song, set to the music of friend Harley Denio, warn of impending breakdown and social upheaval:
No one wants to work in the boiler room,
no one wants to work with the tools.
The nations busy taking the easy way out,
Theres no one left to fix our schools.
Maintenance technicians are about to retire.
Company executives got no one to hire.
How safe does it make you feel?
