GETTING MORE OUT OF YOUR MEMBERSHIP

Did you know that the Association will be celebrating its 25^th birthday this year? That's right; IFMA is officially a quarter of a century old!

Many IMFA Members may not be aware of all the benefits that their IFMA Membership entitles them to. By visiting the IFMA website (www.ifma.org) and entering your Membership ID and password to "IFMAnet - Members Only" section, you not only get access to the IFMA resources on-line, but you are also given Members access to the sites of the British Institute of Facilities Management ("BIFM") and the Facility Management Association ("FMA") of Australia.

This is a reciprocal benefit resulting from the Partners in FM Excellence agreement between IFMA, FMA and BIFM.

On both websites, you'll find research and presentations, papers from conferences and professional development workshops. Remember, success comes from not only what you know but also knowing where to look for what you don't know!

Finally, in this packed edition, we have a whole host of events to look forward to and we have also re-introduced a Quiz section. Test your knowledge on page 3 for a chance to win a voucher to an IFMA Hong Kong Chapter event.
