Membership Drive
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).

It is currently under rule-making by the Washington State Department of Commerce. You can find more information is at https://www.commerce.wa.gov/growing-the-economy/energy/buildings/ .
