President's Report

Dear Members,

Thank you for joining us for our Contracts meeting in February. It was great to learn more about requirements, language, and response times. Be sure you check out the photo gallery and we have posted the presentation on our website here.

There are two exciting events coming up in March you won’t want to miss!  The Women In Facilities Panel Discussion on March 7th, you can find more details of the event and register here.  Plus, another popular event, our Bowling Extravaganza on March 20th at Bowlero in Woodland Hills, you can register here for this event 

    And finally, we could use your help to get more FM industry folks to sign up and sponsor our annual Golf Tournament on May 10th (New date!). Registration and Sponsorship are open as foursomes, and sponsorships sell out fast! at the Sherwood Lake Club in Thousand Oaks. It's a unique private course, and you'll have access to all their amenities during the day, including a locker room, tennis courts, and pool.

    I look forward to seeing you all soon!

    Dawn Howell

The ESUS/Sustainability Community plans to provide a regularly updated document that will include information for IFMA members. They have developed a short survey for ongoing collection of relevant data. Take the survey today.

       

      Additionally, the IFMA Foundation offers a scholarship program for the Sustainability Facility Professional (SFP) certification. The Eric Teicholz Sustainability scholarship currently has 35 awardees from 11 countries. Learn more and view the application -  due July,19 2024. The program publishes an annual journal, the Bulletin, highlighting recent recipients and their sustainability work. Read the Bulletin and watch for an updated version in early Spring 2024.
