“Rock My
Restaurant got me comfortable with public speaking. It was awesome to research all those topics, and then discuss them live on our show”
of the projects Clevenger takes on is that another major factor for its success. It has offices in Southern California, Seattle, the Midwest, and Te Philippines and works in virtually every project segment. “It has a good internal network of knowledge and communication that we use all the time to work on projects around the country and around the world,” says Norman.

For Norman, another exceptional network for knowledge is FCSI itself. “It is invaluable. If I’m working on a specific project in a certain market segment and I get stumped by a piece of equipment or something that
comes up, I have so many people I can immediately call in my FCSI network and say, ‘How would you address this?’ Tat collaboration is invaluable. We share with each other all the time and over the last 10 years, the society has become even more open,” says Norman. “I believe it’s very important to be able to say to a client, ‘Today these are the limits of my knowledge. But tomorrow, I’ll know this, and I’ll get back to you.” Before he became president
of FCSI Worldwide, Norman was chair of FCSI Te Americas. “FCSI has been so instrumental in shaping my career. I was a student member and FCSI was the catalyst for
my education. But I have so many lifelong friends through FCSI now. It’s a tight-knit community. We all share our successes and horror stories about the projects we’ve worked on, and that camaraderie is so important,” he says. What does he hope to
achieve in his presidency? “Te biggest two things are, firstly, wrapping up all the strategic planning that we were working on through 2020-2023. We made great progress in aligning the divisions, and becoming a closer and more cohesive global society. Te next biggest thing is FCSI WW’s transition to our publishing partner, 1473 Media. We are rebuilding our portfolio and that’s so exciting,” he says.
