  • 10/6 Document Institutional Facility Knowledge for Better Patient Outcomes

    October 6, 2026


    Experienced hospital facilities professionals carry decades of critical knowledge—from hidden shutoffs and accurate drawings to the unique quirks of critical equipment. When that knowledge walks out the door, response times, bed availability, and patient care can be affected. Join us to learn how to:


    - Capture critical facility knowledge

    - Prevent knowledge gaps from turnover

    - Give teams instant access to facility information

  • 10/7 The Future of Facility Security

    October 7, 2026


    Every high-risk site runs on a quiet trade-off. Tighten visitor screening and the lobby backs up. Speed up entry and identity verification gets thinner. Neither side of that tension has been solvable with a paper log and a front desk, and the pressure on both has increased: more contractors, more third-party foot traffic, more auditor interest in who was inside the fence line and when.


    This session looks at how that trade-off is starting to resolve, and what it means for the way security, facilities, and EHS teams divide responsibility for site access. Attendees will leave with a clearer view of where their current visitor workflow carries risk, which parts are worth automating first, and how to make the case internally when the front desk experience and the security requirement appear to be in conflict.

Women in Facility Management, March 18, 2025

By NJ IFMA • March 18, 2025
NJ IFMA Women in Facility Management Had a Blast at the NJ Hall of Fame! On March 18, NJ IFMA Women in Facility Management had an unforgettable time at the New Jersey Hall of Fame, located in the iconic American Dream Mall. A weekday visit from 4 to 6 PM turned out to be the perfect time to explore this hidden gem, and the incredibly helpful staff ensured we made the most of our experience. From the moment we arrived, we immersed ourselves in the exhibits, celebrating the remarkable achievements of New Jersey’s finest. Cindi and Lisa even got the chance to sing along with Gloria Gaynor, while the whole group took a thrilling trip as we "flew to the moon" and interviewed some of our favorite NJ heroes. Before heading out, we captured fun memories at the interactive green screen selfie station, posing with our favorite inductees and taking home a souvenir photo. After our visit, we enjoyed a delicious bite to eat and strolled through the mall’s expansion, making the most of another fantastic opportunity for casual networking and getting to know each other better. It was truly a night to remember—great company, great fun, and an inspiring tribute to the legacy of New Jersey’s legends!

Gratitude for Joanne: Reflecting on a Decade of Commitment

By NJ IFMA • March 21, 2024
After ten years of supporting our chapter including five Executive Committees with multiple personalities, Joanne Gerow decided it was time to retire. Joanne was the friendly face at the registration table for all the meetings and events and was everyone’s go to whether it was a question on the chapter By-Laws, where to get catering for an upcoming meeting, or who took home the IFMA banner. We appreciated her input during Board Meetings. To say that we took her for granted is an understatement. We will miss you Joanne, and hope you will drop by a meeting or event as a valued guest. At the Winter Social this past December, we thanked Joanne for her years of service and several Past Presidents both in attendance and remote, expressed their appreciation to her.  Joanne has been instrumental in the transition to our new administrative support, Hassan Consultants, an association management company providing efficient and cost effective management services to trade and professional associations and societies. We are excited to work with their team and take advantage of what they can share from their experiences working with other associations. We hope that all chapter members and guests will be able to meet them over the next few months as the NJ IFMA schedule of events is growing again post COVID.
