Register Today for the 2023 Conference
Registration is open for CAPPA’s 2023 conference in Allen, TX. It’s no secret that Texans like to brag. But the saying “everything is bigger in Texas” doesn’t just refer to big hats, big hair, and big attitudes. It has its roots in the state’s enormous geographical area. Texas has a total area of 268,820 square […]
CAPPA Tech Tips—Pressure Gauges
There are likely several hundred or more on your campus, but are they properly sized? Pressure gauges typically have the specified isolation valve (or trumpet valve), snubber, or pig tail. Proper sizing can present serious issues when miscalculated. The accuracy of the gauge is not always what is shown on the gauge face. Most bourdon tube mechanical pressure gauges are accurate between 1/4 and 7/8 of the gauge range. It is not a linear relationship. For example, the gauge shown to the right would be most accurate between 15 psi and 52.5 psi.
Congratulations to Another Supervisor’s Toolkit Class!

CAPPA Tech Tips – Steam Traps
If you have a steam system – you have them. Understood by few, they are required for safe & efficient production and distribution of steam. Small or large they can make or break your system and are frequently taken for granted (or completely forgotten). Steam traps are installed in lines to drain condensate from a system without allowing the escape of steam (MM3 & 2 124). There are several types of traps, and the application (not the pipe size) should determine the type of trap installed.
Leadership Academy – Academy on Campus
APPA’s Leadership Academy is a unique experience that will expand your ability to be an effective leader. Our programming promotes the concepts and skills needed to be a life-long learner—not just in leadership but in your personal life, making this program a real “game-changer.”
The Leadership Academy is designed as an interactive learning experience. This means that there are many activities you will be asked to participate in, such as: organizing a cohort group, presenting group thoughts and ideas, leading a discussion on a given topic, listening to content delivery, and expressing new solutions to old problems, etc. This style requires that you participate but, more importantly, that you grow as a leader.
Supervisor’s Toolkit
Supervisor’s Toolkit has been specifically designed to meet the needs of the facilities management professional. It is a structured, open-ended, and pragmatic approach to developing supervisors. It is not so much a teaching program as a development process, designed to help supervisors realize both personal and professional growth.

The 2022 CAPPA Conference
The 2022 CAPPA Conference was held at the Lincoln Marriott Cornhusker Hotel in Lincoln, Nebraska, and hosted by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. This year’s theme, “Every Interaction Matters” finally became tangible as some conference attendees visited a variety of educational and informational sessions, and others were expanding on their skill sets in the Supervisor’s Toolkit or Academy on Campus: Level III courses.
2022 CAPPA Conference
Welcome to Lincoln! The city was founded in 1856 as the village of Lancaster on the wild salt marshes of what was to become Lancaster County. Renamed after President Abraham Lincoln, it became Nebraska’s state capital in 1869. The Bertram G. Goodhue–designed state capitol building was completed in 1932, and is the second tallest capitol in the United States. As the city is the seat of government for the state of Nebraska, the state and the United States government are major employers. The University of Nebraska was founded in Lincoln in 1869. The university is the largest in Nebraska with 26,079 students enrolled, and is the city’s third-largest employer.
