With more than 30 years of experience in engineering and facility management, Hodges has served on the IFMA board of directors, as chapter president of the IFMA Capital Chapter, and in many other roles within IFMA, giving him the necessary experience and expertise to provide beginners with the essential tools they need to get started with sustainability.
Eric Teicholz, executive editor of the guides and a member of the IFMA Foundation’s board of trustees, indicated that by the end of the current calendar year, there will be a minimum of four additional guides hosted on the foundation’s Web site, with another eight scheduled for completion in 2010.
