| Professional Development and Education Committee
Objectives:
The Professional Development and Education Committee members are here to assist all Chapter members with their professional development within Facilities Management. Whether that interest is in obtaining the FMP or CFM designations, achieving LEED® accreditation or by attending our Educational Roundtables, our committee’s focus is to support and promote our diverse collection of Chapter members. Our committee consists of three CFMS, an FMP and two LEED® APs with a collective FM experience of 102 years! Professional Development Breakfast These breakfast events are structured around the 9 Competencies of the Certified Facilities Manager Designation:
There are two main objectives of the Professional Development Breakfast; to bring chapter members together to share information and knowledge and to discuss current FM industry trends; and to assist chapter members in earning CEUs and CFM maintenance points. Professional Development Are you a subject matter expert on reducing energy usage? Did you successfully implement a charge-back system or reduce your O&M budget by 15% without compromising safety and service? The Education Committee is interested in hearing from Chapter Members who have had successful accomplishments within their respective job and would like to share their own lessons learned with others in the profession. Is there a demand for certain information and knowledge? Interested in a discussion on benchmarking, ergonomics or reducing water consumption? If so, please let us know! CFM Study Groups The education committee is responsible for the administration and promotion of the CFM Exam Review. Committee members Serena Pancoast and Chuck Swiderski are also available to discuss the CFM exam requirements, structure and preparation with interested Chapter members.
