It’s not easy to achieve CFM status. The CFM designation is a tangible sign of your success. Share your expertise and mentor up-and-coming members of your organization. 4. Advance your profession. Facility managers must be proficient in a wide range of competencies. The CFM program articulates the level of skill and talent required of the profession. 5. Enhance your professional network. Enjoy opportunities to network during special CFM events. IFMA chapter and council members receive special recognition for their achievements. Please contact our Education & Professional Development Chair, Terry White, at 248-377-7305 or terry.white@fanucrobotics.com.
