Another Victory!
We just completed the Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport – GA Terminal project featuring Ceco MADERA Stainable Steel Doors
The Look and Feel of a Wood Door - The Strength and Durability of a Steel Door
Ceco Madera offers the natural beauty of wood in a durable, fire-rated, and stainable steel door. The wood-grain pattern is actually etched in the metal, not painted on. Six attractive natural stain finishes offer a palate of decorating options. The door is finished with a tough, clear top coat with ultraviolet protectors. It looks and feels like wood. But it won’t warp, rot or otherwise wear and weather like wood. Doors can be fire rated up to 3 hours following typical fire-rated door restrictions based on series, gage and size.
• Rich wood grain pattern engraved into a stainable steel surface
• Available in stained natural wood tones with accessories and trim to match.
• Tough, clear top coat with UV protectors
• Glass lights feature frame trim finished to match door
• Factory stained in your choice of stain colors

Children Are Our Future
Some people say that “children are our future”. If that is true, college students are our immediate future. Our nation's future rests on the security of our institutions of higher education. I first became acutely interested in college campus security after the Virginia Tech shooting April 16, 2007. This massacre took the lives of 33 people and was the deadliest peacetime shooting incident by a single gunman in United States history. I moved by the story of Liviu Librescu, a 76 year old professor and Holocaust survivor who died protecting his students from the Virginia Tech gunman. It was said that Librescu “blocked his classroom doorway from a gunman while his students leapt to freedom”.
I often wonder if Professor Librescu’s death could have been prevented with the addition of a Classroom Security Lock. Many lock manufacturers have included this lock function in their product lines. This lock function gives the occupant the ability to lock the outside lever handle from a key inside. This gives the occupant the ability to lock the door from the inside without opening it and move to a safer location in the room. Campus public safety officers should insist on classroom security function locks when designing their overall security plan.
This is why I take campus security very seriously. There are approximately 30,000 campus public safety officers who protect the 4,200 colleges and universities across the nation.
The FBI also takes campus security very seriously. Below is a listing of a few of the partnerships that the FBI has put in place in recent years.
Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) - Campus Liaison Initiative designates an FBI agent or task force officer from every field office to coordinate with campus public safety officers and other school personnel.
Academic Alliance Program – Provides assistance to tackle national security challenges like global adversaries trying to steal U.S. information or technologies.
National Security Higher Education Advisory Board (NSHEAB) – This board is comprised of 20 university and college presidents and chancellors, many from schools with large research labs. The board meets several times a year with us in Washington D.C., often in concert with other federal agencies, to talk about national security implications facing their research facilities.
College and University Security Effort (CAUSE) – This effort joins agents in charge of the FBI’s 56 field offices with heads of local institutions to discuss similar issues brought up at the NSHEAB board meetings.
Office of Law Enforcement Coordination (OLEC) – The OLEC was created following 9/11 to build on relationships with law enforcement partners at all levels, including campus officers.

Victory Contract Sales Estimating Services
Bid more! Close more!
In our current financial climate, your business needs to get the most out of its marketplace. If you're not increasing turnover every year, your business is shrinking. Many businesses simply try to weather the storm and pick up extra sales wherever they can. While this opportunistic approach can be effective in the short term, it is unlikely to sustain a long-term growth strategy.
Successful firms will have to find a way to sell more to existing customers; focus your customer service and marketing efforts on retaining customers; expand your customer base to include similar people who are not currently customers; sell through new channels or into new markets; or use your core competences to create new value added services. We can help!
In contract sales, our market share is governed by our bid-hit ratio. We understand that if our bid-hit ratio stays the same and our dollar volume of estimates increases, sales will increase. So if you bid more, you will close more.
Before you incur the cost of adding a new estimator to your staff, you may want consider subcontracting some of your estimating load to Victory Contract Sales Estimating Services. We prefer to bid projects that are between $100,000.00 and $1,000,000.00.
