IFMA Chapters
Our commitment to local chapters is our strength in
expanding the FM global network. In addition to the
resources provided by IFMA Headquarters, local chapters
offer members a wealth of educational and networking
opportunities.
Chapter Benefits
Top Five Reasons to Join an IFMA Chapter:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 IFMA’s CFM exam. Peer support and knowledge
sharing contribute to enhancing your professional
development.
- 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.
