Welcome to IFMA New Jersey

Hello NJ IFMA Members,

I want to introduce myself as your Chapter President and look forward to seeing all of you at a Chapter meeting or event. Also, I want to thank the previous Executive Board for their hard work and commitment to the Chapter during the past two years.

As we transition into the new leadership, if you would like to get to know the 2021-2023 follow our Executive Board page and click on the Bio link for each individual to get some details about them.

Thanks also goes to all the members of the various NJ IFMA committees. Our Chapter is very fortunate to have so many wonderful members willing to contribute and who continue to do so! We have a good number of committees, so please consider volunteering for one.

We can always use your support to enhance the offerings that we currently provide. This year’s list of Committees and Chairs can be found on our Committee Chairs page.

The chapter has been busy planning various meetings and educational opportunities with the hope that you gain more knowledge in the FM field as well as share it. In that regard, I would ask that you take full advantage of these opportunities.

The NJ IFMA Program Committee strives to develop relevant topics as well as find hosts for the monthly meetings. If you are a Facilities professional and would like to showcase your facility by hosting a meeting, please let the Program Chair (Bryan Effron) know about your interest. If your facility provides a unique environment for a tour, we would be very interested in sharing this perspective with others. Bryan can be reached at bryan.effron@ki.com.

Carol Hart-Sosinski facilitates the popular FM-Only Breakfasts. If you would be interested in hosting one of their meetings, please contact Carol at chs@fbcnj.com.

I welcome suggestions and feedback as we move onward in the profession. With that, I look forward to accomplishing our Chapter’s Mission:

“To create an environment of opportunities by leading, educating

and connecting the FM Professionals.”

and our Vision:

“To serve as a resource for the best Facilities Management practices

to the New Jersey Facilities Management community.”

Best regards,

Maria Cristallo

President, NJ IFMA
