2020 IFMA Seattle Membership Drive
While membership in a local IFMA Chapter is always worthwhile and rewarding; these turbulent times make connecting with fellow peers in the facility world, whether as an associate or a professional, downright critical. Combine this fact with the urgency now required when it comes to sharing new or established “best practices” and the benefits of joining an organization like IFMA and IFMA Seattle become invaluable. In order to enhance the membership of IFMA Seattle, and as a way of saying thanks to our current and actively recruiting members; IFMA Seattle is pleased to announce our 2020 Membership Drive.
Current chapter members will be rewarded for bringing in new chapter members in a tiered fashion;
- All current chapter members will be eligible for reward for the first 2 (two) new chapter members they sign up ( Limit to first 100 current members).
- The first 10 chapter members that bring in a third (3rd) new chapter member will be entered into a drawing for $500 towards any IFMA function.
- Each current chapter member that brings in one new chapter member will be given credit for a Lunch & Learn.
- A second new member signed up will earn the current member a credit for a Lunch & Learn PLUS a $25 IFMA credit (to be applied to any IFMA function).
- A third new member signed up ( BY THE FIRST TEN (10) MEMBERS ONLY!! ) will earn the current member a Lunch & Learn, PLUS a $25 IFMA credit (to be applied to any IFMA function), PLUS a chance for the $500 IFMA credit (to be applied to any IFMA function).

WA State Clean Buildings Standard Survey
|
|
Washington State University Energy Program (WSU) is requesting your input on a short online survey about the upcoming Washington State Clean Building Energy Performance Standard. The intention of the survey is to help WSU create an effective support program for those involved with complying with the law, such as building owners, facility and energy managers, energy service providers, and utilities.
The standard is undergoing rule-making by the Washington State Department of Commerce (Commerce) and will be established November 1, 2020, per the Clean Buildings bill (HB 1257). In short, the performance standard requires all commercial buildings (both public and private) over 50,000 square feet to lower their energy consumption by complying with a specific energy use target.
A few notes about this survey:
- The deadline to take the survey is July 20, however we greatly appreciate you taking it sooner.
- Please feel free to share the survey link and email to others who may be interested.
- The survey is set so that it may only be taken once by each person.
Please forgive us if you receive the survey request more than once – we are distributing this widely to reach as many applicable people as possible, through a variety of organizations and associations.
|
|
July 20 is the last day to take the survey.
Thank you! We very much appreciate your support!
