WiFM

Welcome to the Women in FM (WiFM) Special Interest Group.

 

Our aim as a group is to promote women within the FM sector throughout the United Kingdom, to encourage them to join the industry, to develop their careers and to provide networking groups at which knowledge and ideas can be shared.  All BIFM members, women and men, are welcome to join us at our planned forums throughout the year throughout the country.  In order to meet as much of our target audience as possible, these will be held in both the afternoons and the evenings.

 

People in the industry with experiences to share will tell their stories at forums across the UK.  The forums will encourage open discussion around subjects that are pertinent to everyone involved and there will often be the opportunity for a building tour led by the Facilities Manager at the venue.

 

The full national programme for 2009 will be announced shortly, but in the meantime please see the events tab to the left for information on our November 2008 event and the London events scheduled for 2009.  

 

You can also find out about our committee members by clicking the tab to the left.

 

In addition the Women in FM SIG will continue to encourage the participation of all members in events held by all other BIFM Regions and SIGs, some of which we will partner with.

 

The Women in FM SIG is running a mentoring programme which gives an opportunity for members to develop their careers or help others. If you are interested in becoming either a mentor or a mentee, please email wifm-mentoring@larch.co.uk to find out how to get involved.  The mentoring programme is supported by Larch Consulting.

 

The FM World Career Development supplement (pages 8 and 9) describes our journey so far and our plans for the future. To access this and to find out more about us click here
