When the concept of World FM Day was conceived by members of the Global FM organization, it was all about connecting facility management professionals around the globe and celebrating the ever evolving, challenging and wonderful profession we call facility management, according to Teena Shouse, CFM, IFMA Fellow, and past chairman, International Facility Management Association.
The idea was to celebrate and elevate the importance of the industry. “As with similar days hosted by organizations around the globe, World FM Day will be filled with accolades of past performances, sharing of visions for the future and recognition of the hard work accomplished by individuals who either work in or support the world of facility management,” says Shouse, senior FM consultant with Facility Engineering Associates, P.C. “It is important that we highlight the valuable contributions facility practitioners have made and continue to make to sustainable global communities and productive, safe and secure working environments.”
IFMA encourages facilities managers to find a way to celebrate on World FM Day, June 24, 2010. For more ideas on how to participate in your organization, there is a World FM Day site: http://www.ifma.org/worldfmday/index.cfm
