Chapter Benefits
Top Five Reasons to Join an IFMA Chapter
1. Local networking with professional peers
IFMA chapters add special value to your membership experience.
A unique forum for FM professionals to network locally
with their peers, chapters provide many avenues for
professional and personal development through monthly
meetings, educational courses, social functions and
facility tours.
2. Chapter-specific member resources
In addition to information and tools available through
your IFMA membership, chapters offer resources specific
to your local interests. Many chapters maintain their
own Web sites, publish newsletters and local membership
directories, and provide employment referral services.
Chapter resources are important to your career growth,
industry knowledge and networking.
3. Best practice sharing with local peers
Through chapter Web sites, meetings and events, you
have the opportunity to talk with peers about workplace
challenges and pose industry-related questions, receiving
timely answers. Chapters bring IFMA resources directly
to you, making your membership experience more personal.
4. Local professional development programs
Chapters sponsor IFMA educational seminars, offer round
table and panel discussions, and present hot topic
speakers to members. Chapters also organize certification
study groups designed for members planning to take IFMAs
CFM exam. Peer support and knowledge sharing contribute
to enhancing your professional development.
5. Leadership opportunities
Chapter committees and leadership positions allow members
to contribute in areas such as program and event planning,
marketing, Web development and member recruitment. As
a source of personal development, participation as a
chapter leader or organizer is highly rewarding. Chapter
involvement is a source of pride, accomplishment and
honor.
