by Shane Henson — June 24, 2013—The International Facility Management Association (IFMA) recently announced that the Bulgarian Facility Management Association (BGFMA) has partnered with the organization through its IFMA Alliance.
An IFMA Alliance partnership provides members of global facilities-related organizations like BGFMA and former IFMA component groups with select IFMA member benefits directed at individual skill development. Members of IFMA Alliance organizations become “custom” members of IFMA with the ability to determine what information they wish to share with, and receive from, IFMA based on their unique individual needs.
BGFMA is the second partner in the heralded IFMA Alliance, following the induction of Facility Management Nederland (FMN) last year, says IFMA, a major international association for facilities management professionals.
“This new alliance partnership with the Bulgarian Facility Management Association is great news for everyone in IFMA,” said IFMA president and CEO Tony Keane. “Not only does it improve the resources and knowledge pool we offer to existing members by bringing new professionals and ideas into the fold, but BGFMA can offer its members access to industry-leading educational and credential programs offered by IFMA. The more we connect with facilities managers around the world and the more we work as a team, the stronger our united voice to elevate the global recognition of the FM profession becomes.”
