Education Committee

The objectives of the Education Committee are to:
  • Provide educational opportunities for the IFMA membership beyond the monthly program topics,
  • Facilitate communication with other educational providers, and
  • Foster student interest in facilities management.
The Committee accomplishes this by:
  • Providing two half-day seminars per year.
  • Communicating with educational institutions and other local associations about educational opportunities, including higher education.
  • Facilitating the CFM review courses.
  • Developing resources that facilitate interactions between students, new facility managers, and experienced facility managers.
  • Developing a mechanism for Associate members to educate their products and services to other members.
  • Providing a scholarship to a student in the facilities management or related field.
