WOMEN IN FACILITY MANAGEMENT

NJ IFMA WFM


Women in Facility Management (WFM) was formed in 2011 with the goal to promote a communication network for the female members of NJ IFMA. Talented and diverse women within the membership have fostered friendships and companionships with others who share the common bonds of working in the facility management industry and facing challenges all working women share. They have become a source of support and information for each other.


Several times a year, this group is invited to participate in an outing or event. Over the years, this has included golf, trips to museums, a painting class, a trip to an arboretum, volunteering at Junior Achievement, Zumba, hula hooping, and a wine tasting. 2023 will mark the 11th year for the Annual Beach Day. A different beach at the Jersey Shore has been visited each year ending with an optional dinner at a local restaurant. It has proven to be a great casual day of networking and fun.

On November 13, 2023, several women from the Chapter toured the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Robbinsville. In Sanskrit, Mandir means a place where the mind becomes still and experiences inner peace. From their website, “The BAPS in Robbinsville NJ will inspire the onlookers through its divinity, architecture, and humanitarian efforts for generations to come.” This location is a masterpiece of exquisite Indian design and workmanship. The building in the photo was recently finished and dedicated this past October and is breathtaking. We arranged for a tour guide but individuals and families are not required to book their visit in advance. They have a café that is open until 8 PM with authentic cuisine. Check out their website www.baps.org/global-network/north-america/robbinsville.aspx to learn about the site and information for visiting. Thank you to Alice Acevedo for recommending we visit here, and to Lauren Tait and Cindi Vasta for the photos.

On January 26, 2022, from 5 PM to 6:30 PM, 19 ladies from the NJ IFMA Chapter gathered via Zoom for a first-ever “Show & Tell.” I must admit, I needed to be talked into this. The idea came from Jackie Lewis, who always has suggestions to keep us connected with social and educational opportunities.
