Networking

NETWORKING

Our members tell us that one of the most valuable benefits of belonging to AFE is the ability to network with others in the profession. Becoming involved in AFE pays off when you need it most. As a member of AFE you'll be able to solve problems and find answers to technical problems through a number of networking avenues.

CHAPTERS

Join a local chapter and network with other professionals in the facilities industry. Local chapters provide programming to specifically meet the local facilities' communities' needs. Plant tours are frequently scheduled to view for yourself what others in your community are implementing as best practices. Speakers bring a local perspective to topics of interest in your area. And of course, by meeting with others in your area you'll build a personal and professional network of contacts and friends who will be there when you need help.

What Members Say

“The CPMM enhanced my professional reputation at work and now the facilities organization at our other sites began calling with questions. Along with the certification, AFE Membership itself helped get me through a government audit."
