Letter from IFMA-CT President

PatRICK Tallarita, CFM, President, IFMA-CT

The facilities management community is comprised of dedicated professionals, committed to protecting not only property, but more importantly the individuals who inhabit those properties. The global effects of coronavirus (COVID-19) are testing our preparedness, our professionalism and commitments for achieving the greatest outcomes possible. Sometimes in order to stand together we need to stand apart. In light of the need to establish social distancing and limit person to person contact, CT IFMA is suspending all meetings and gatherings until further notice.

But you’re not alone. Our online community is there to help you navigate through these unchartered waters. IFMA’s national website has a dedicated Coronavirus Preparedness Resource Center full of relevant and useful information to assist the FM professional. Webinars and teleconferences are regularly being held and can be found listed in the Coronavirus Preparedness Resource Center. IFMA’s Engage Forum is a wonderful way to get answers to your questions and/or share your knowledge and experiences.

As always, if you need us directly, just connect with any of your CT IFMA Board Members. As the world around us changes more rapidly than we could have imaged, know that your CT IFMA family is there if needed. Be safe.
