Government Relations

IFMA is committed to working with public and private sector partners to magnify the facility management profession by providing reliable information to government leaders around the world on issues affecting the built environment.

IFMA monitors issues and maintains advocacy efforts in the U.S. (at both the state and federal levels) and EU dedicated to:

• providing reliable information to decision makers on issues affecting the built environment
• creating common​-sense solutions for energy-efficient building initiatives, and
• highlighting the importance of education and training in effective facility management.

IFMA has well-informed advocates, including staff and the board of directors. However, the greatest resource IFMA can bring to bear is the experience and expertise of our more than 24,000 members worldwide.  As IFMA continues to expand our advocacy efforts, we strongly encourage our members to become involved.
