President's Message January-February, 2010

 

Excitement at the Greater Philadelphia Chapter of IFMA!

Providing Members with Continual Growth and Development Opportunities

 

Dale WengerThere are a couple of exciting happenings that are coming early in 2010.  The first is that I am happy to announce that the Chapter Board of Directors has approved an agreement with PACE Companies to monitor and research legislation within the State of Pennsylvania that could have the potential to impact the built environment.  The Association has recognized the need for monitoring and researching such legislation on a federal level, and thus has established a Government Relations liaison.  We are one of the first, if not the first, chapter to enter into such an agreement on a state level and we are hopeful that this type of early awareness will prove beneficial to our membership.


The second is that IFMA Facility Fusion is coming to Philadelphia from April 13-15, 2010.  Just as the name implies, this conference will pull together many aspects of facility management. 

 

The facility management professional will be able to chose from educational tracks focusing on sustainability, leading and managing, and best practices in facility management.  I had the opportunity to attend a similar event in Houston several years ago, and I continue to use some of the best practices that were presented at that conference.  Our chapter leadership worked closely with the Association's headquarters to plan and organize the facility tours, and we provided input into some of the Conference Educational Programming.  Since this event is literally in our backyard, I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity.  You can get additional information regarding the conference at www.ifmafacilityfusion.org.


As the chapter leadership team, the Board of Directors strives to meet the needs of the needs of the membership and to provide excellent value for your membership dollar.  If you have any questions of concerns regarding the chapter, please feel free to contact me at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
