John Voss, a retired air force officer who has been studying longevity for the last several years, will speak on “How to Live to 100” at the Emerald Coast Meditation Society on Nov. 7.
The meeting will start with a 30-minute meditation at 6:30 p.m. at Christ the King Episcopal Church, 480 N. Co. Hwy. 393, Santa Rosa Beach, one-half mile north of Hwy. 98. The ECMS is ecumenical and follows no religion. There is no charge.
In his talk, says Voss, he will address the results of recent studies relating to the major factors that impact longevity. These include genetics, and the environmental factors of diet, exercise, rejuvenation and attitude. Biological aspects of metabolism, cell replication, and epigenetics also will be addressed.
Voss, who was born in New York City, served 27 years in the U.S. Air Force, retiring as a colonel at Eglin Air Force Base where he was director of contracting.
He negotiated numerous government contracts and was involved in more than 100 major contract source selections. He was considered an expert on the competitive procedures used by the federal government to award contracts. During his last assignment, as director of contracting for a major acquisition division, he managed a large contracting function that included more than 400 contracting professionals, with an estimated annual budget of over $2 billion.
After leaving the air force Voss became a consultant and educator, and is considered an expert on government contracting and procedures for competitive source selection. He also provides technical advice and assistance regarding the placement and management of contracts, protests, disputes, claims and litigation. He has taught seminars on “How to Win Government Contracts,” “Government Contract Law and Ethics,” and more. He has presented these courses throughout the U.S. and internationally.
He has taught at the University of Southern California, the University of West Florida, and other schools. He also teaches specialized courses for contractors, training companies and the federal government.
Voss earned a B.S. degree from New York University and an M.S. From Texas A&M University. He has two grown children with families and lives in Niceville.
The evening will conclude with a short guided meditation. The ECMS meets on the first and third Thursday of every month except July and August. Anyone who needs meditation instruction should arrive by 6:15 p.m. For information contact Nancy James, nancyjames@embarqmail.com.
