Life is changing at big law firms, and it’s important for you to be perceived as an expert by your firm’s leadership. The IFMA Legal Council is here to help – by connecting you to your peers, giving you access to surveys about best practices, and helping you achieve credentials that are respected throughout the Facility Management profession. Investing in IFMA is a relatively small cost when compared to the potential benefits you can receive.
If you have questions about joining or want to ask for advice about approaching your firm’s leadership, contact membership@ifmalic.org.
