Welcome to the IFMA Baton Rouge Chapter website. Thanks for visiting.
Our chapter has been in existence since 1991. Our organization has been well served by leaders in the community that valued our mutual goals. Through the years we have maintainted strong leaders and talented dedicated, board members, and committee chairs making us one of the best chapters in the IFMA organization.
The Baton Rouge Chapter has grown to 80+ members. More importantly, we continue to have 40+ in attendance at our monthly meetings.
Facility managers are the stewards to insure workplace environments are safe, efficient and pleasant places in which great minds perform their best thinking. Our organization is dedicated to bring its members many benefits to enhance their professionalism. We provide a friendly environment for networking, sharing ideas, continuing education opportunities, community service and fun events throughout the year. |

Education
Our monthly programs and presentations, several of which are certified for continuing education credits, include pressing workplace issues such as indoor air quality, lighting, ergonomics, ADA & accessibility for persons with disabilities, use of integrated technology to monitor and maintain infrastructure systems, recycling programs, green building efforts and the use of e-commerce to achieve cost efficiencies in facilities. |

Community Service
Throughtout the year we participate in community projects. Projects in the past have included work and fundraising for various organizations, including Habitat for Humanity, McMains Children's Development Center, the YMCA, and Volunteer of America - Parker House. |

Networking Opportunites
Our chapter provides excellent networking opportunities in a friendly environment. We conduct several tours of new facilities in the community, fun functions including Crawfish Boils, an annual Christmas luncheon, and Annual Golf Classic Tournament to get to know fellow chapter members in a less formal setting. Serving on one of several committees, needing the talents and friendship of members, provides a great way to help the chapter, enhance your experinece as a member and further your career development path. |
