Communities

IFMA formed communities to meet Core Competency and topical specific networking and information needs of its members. Truly global in nature, communities are not limited by geographic boundaries. You are able to communicate with colleagues worldwide about issues, concerns and best practices specific to your interests.

Full members – Professionals, Associates, Young Professionals, Students and Retired Professionals – can add a community at any time. Discovery Members can upgrade their membership to add a community. Not an IFMA member? Join Today.
