A
BUMPER EDITION TO WELCOME IN
2005
Unfortunately,
2005 does not get off to a good
start with the terrible events
in South East Asia dominating
the headlines and everyone's
hearts and minds. We trust that
all Members, friends and their
families are safe and well.
Kicking
off the year, we have put together
a bumper Bulletin.
You
will find details about the
Spring Dinner party which will
be a great social and networking
evening.
This
edition includes a report from
the Chapter President, Jon Seller,
of his visit to World Workplace
which took place in Utah in
October 2004. The local Chapter
has been stepping up its involvement
with IFMA HQ in Houston in order
to ensure we continue to deliver
value to our Members.
I
will be paying a visit to IFMA
HQ at the end of the month to
attend a training conference
and will also be given the opportunity
to meet with IFMA management
and take a tour of the HQ building.
There
are a series of events coming
up which Members may be interested
in registering for and we also
continue with our series of
Guest Articles. The first one,
which appeared in November 2004
and was written by Santa Raymond,
a speaker at our Conference.
In this Bulletin, we present
the first of 6 articles from
the respected UK based CFM,
and the UK IFMA Chapter President,
Martin Pickard. His article
is titled "Putting the M back
into FM".
Brian Crockford, Vice President
