  • 11/4 The hidden cost of downtime: How to reduce asset failures before they happen

    November 4, 2026


    Unplanned downtime is rarely the result of a single equipment failure. More often, it's the outcome of disconnected data, inconsistent maintenance practices, limited visibility, and reactive decision-making that allow small issues to grow into costly disruptions. The impact extends far beyond repair costs, affecting productivity, compliance, safety, asset performance, and long-term operational efficiency.


     


    Join Eptura for an educational webinar exploring the hidden costs of downtime and how leading organizations are taking a more data-driven approach to reliability. We'll examine the most common causes of asset failures, share practical strategies for reducing downtime risk, and discuss how maintenance and operations teams can create more predictable, reliable operations.

     

     

    Whether you're responsible for maintaining critical assets, improving operational performance, or extending asset lifecycles, you'll leave with actionable best practices you can apply immediately.

    November 11, 2026


    In recent years, average temperatures have increased, heat waves arise more frequently, and wildfires have intensified. These natural hazards pose threats to community health. Extreme heat impacts air quality with compounding effects on human health. As wildfires encroach into urban areas more frequently, wildfire smoke increasingly emits a complex mixture of chemicals that can lead to negative health impacts. In this session, researchers Tim Nurkiewicz, Ph.D, Diana Hamer, Ph.D, and Mike Bergin, Ph.D will discuss their work on the health impacts of inhaled wildfire smoke emissions, the socio-demographic characteristics of communities impacted by wildfires, and the health impacts of extreme heat and air pollution.

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.
