The WIRE e-newsletter

The WIRE's digest-style format offers a glimpse into what's on the horizon for IFMA (upcoming events, new educational opportunities and association developments), and issues are archived online for member-only access.
Delivered to IFMA's full membership each Friday, the IFMA Insider e-newsbrief delivers the week's hottest FM news and business trends from global news and top industry resources around the Web. In addition to the global IFMA Insider, IFMA publishes four regionally focused newsbriefs combining local news articles and chapter events as well as a leadership component specific to IFMA members in Canada and the U.S. Northeast, Southern and West Coast regions.
As one of the association's strategic competencies, IFMA is dedicated to the ongoing accumulation and analysis of data related to trends in the facility management industry. From industry surveys to forecasting to benchmarking reports, IFMA's research draws on the practices and opinions of FM professionals and educators, covering topics vital to the day-to-day operations of facility professionals and the built environment. Research reports are available for purchase via the IFMA store (IFMA members receive discounted pricing).
IFMA and the IFMA Foundation, with support from IFMA’s Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability Strategic Advisory Group, produce a series of white papers to provide data and information associated with a wide range of subjects related to sustainable facility management. Summaries of the available guides are listed on the IFMA website, and users can log in to access full downloads for free.
