The Role Of Facilities Management In Handling Emergencies, Maintenance“Both IFMA and CIRI recognize that elevated focus on sustainable practices to ensure healthy environments both inside and out is a now-or-never priority,” said IFMA President and CEO Don Gilpin. “Our organizations share a deep respect for industry research as an essential requirement for understanding existing and emerging expectations for the profession. CIRI’s analyses and insights will help guide facility management professionals toward decisions that result in lower risk and higher safety for our facilities.”
IFMA established its Strategic Partner Associations program in 2021 to provide built environment professionals with a single source of interdisciplinary skill-building training. The program’s specialized training opportunities address a range of mission-critical roles and cover the entire operational life cycle of the built environment.
“The knowledge and research insights from CIRI will enable thousands of IFMA members to operate and maintain their facilities as top of class for occupant health and well-being,” commented Marilyn Black, Ph.D., VP and Senior Technical Advisor for CIRI. “One of CIRI and IFMA’s first partner collaborations will define actionable steps for healthy air during wildfires.”
