Presidents Message
ELLISA DE ROSA, CHAPTER PRESIDENT
Dear IFMA Phoenix Chapter Members, Thank you so much for re-electing me as your 2018-2019 IFMA Greater Phoenix Chapter President. Last year was a great year and I fully anticipate this year being even better. I am forever passionate about giving back to IFMA FIRST. The people in the Facilities Management field are some of the best people to know. Being part of this chapter is beyond rewarding for growth and education, increasing industry knowledge, career advancement and ultimately personal satisfaction. I honestly could not think of a better community to be linked to. For that, I have all of you to thank. Over the past year I’ve been honored to have met many of you, but not everyone. So, please come say hello to me when you see me at a meeting or event. Since this is my last year as president, let’s all join to make it a FABULOUS ONE! Following this letter are a few important things I’d like to share with you, including our chapter’s new ONE BIG GOAL and highlights from last year. Please continue reading. THANK YOU again for your support. It means so much to me.
Sincerely,
Phoenix Chapter Strategic Plan During our strategic planning session this summer, we narrowed in on ONE BIG GOAL for the Phoenix Chapter and are busy working on individual committee goals as well. OUR ONE BIG GOAL: Define and document Greater Phoenix Chapter current processes by Dec. 1, 2018 Why did we decide on this goal? While we believe that the Phoenix Chapter is doing great things for the community, industry and its members, we’ve learned that it’s time we secure our own foundation by defining and documenting all functions in writing. In the past, many things were passed down verbally, which made training members challenging. We’re focused on improvements and I am confident we will accomplish this goal with our fully staffed and engaged Executive Board and committee chairs. It is time to work hard, so we can set up new members for success and make life easier for incoming volunteers. What is our goal after December 2018? After December, the board will regroup and set our strategic 5-year goal to revolve around the following areas:
How will we do it? We will achieve success through telling our stories, promoting our profession through videos, blogs, and podcasts, and continuing to work with the student chapter. If you have other ideas, please get involved and help us.
