President's Report

Hello Dayton IFMA!

It's with tremendous excitement that I take the President's seat for this exciting organization!  Thank you for this remarkable opportunity!  Likewise, a huge THANK YOU to Tami Masters for her leadership over the past 12 months.  I think you'll find that 2017 will offer some exciting changes, while holding on to our core values as an organization in providing outstanding education while connecting the FM industry.

We'll close 2016 with an exciting panel discussion on security in the workplace, featuring several industry experts and their poerspective on this important and timely topic.  Mark your calendars for November 16th to be sure and attend.  Our Holiday meeting is always loads of fun, scheduled for December 8th at Brio at The Greene!  While the membership exchanges gifts white elephant style, we'll also be collecting presents for local charity, Hannah's Treasure Chest.

The mission and vision of Dayton IFMA is to provide quality education to those in the facilities industry, while offering excellent opportunities to connect like-minded individuals who work in the facilities world.  We frame this with a fun culture and environment, making membership meetings something you'll always look forward to.  We encourage you to bring a friend or a colleague to our Holiday meeting - it's a great opportunity to introduce them to the Chapter.  Hope to see you soon!

Sincerely,

Ryan Hoffman PE, CEM, LEED AP

President, Dayton IFMA
