| What is IFMA? The International Facility Management Association is an
organization dedicated to advancing the facility management
profession, providing membership services and promoting
IFMA’s visibility in the community. IFMA spots trends,
conducts research, provides educational programs and
assists facility managers worldwide in the development
of strategies to manage the human, facility and real
estate assets of organizations. The local chapter, IFMA
Pittsburgh, was chartered in 1986 by a small group of
facility managers interested in developing an organization
that understood the complexities of their profession.
From the original group of ten, IFMA Pittsburgh has
grown to a membership of nearly 150. The Pittsburgh
chapter is managed by an elected Board of Directors
supported by working committees made up of Members and
Associate Members. Members are those directly involved
in facility management. Associate members and Associate-at-Large
members support the facility management professional
by offering services or products. |
