Monday, March 7th, 2022

We at the IFMA FMCC are fortunate to have a growing membership despite the challenges we have faced with the pandemic and other uncertainties. The FMCC Board recognizes the importance of engaging with our members and continually adding value.

We are very pleased to now launch our Member Help initiative – now detailed on our website ‘Member Help‘. ‘Member Help‘ is FMCC members helping other FMCC members with guidance and advice. Not only our consultant members can respond, but also our associate members too, depending on the inquiry. Please have a look at this new program on our website at the link above or under ‘Resources’ ‘Member Help‘ on our webpage.

We are also planning an annual Town Hall Event to be held around World FM Day – this year on May 11. More details of this event will be provided soon and we hope you can take part.
