Hello IFMA NM,
2020 has been a year in which not only did our community but the entire world join together to fight an unseen but incredibly deadly adversary.
As this year comes to a close, a vaccine looks to be in our very near future, with the hope that 2021 will allow us to be together safely again. The challenges that Facility Managers face are always diverse and multi-leveled, but this virus has created a platform of unprecedented challenges. As always, you persevere, adapt, and rise to each new complication. The IFMA NM Board rallied to help the New Mexico Chapter become the best online version of itself. Content and learning continue, and professional advancement is always at the forefront of what we are trying to provide. Our fabulous sponsors have continued their support in spite of the roller coaster COVID economy, we are most grateful! Sadly, many of our members have seen significant loss, and we want you to know that we value you and are here to help in any way possible. We are all forever changed by the events of 2020, but we are a resilient family and will be going into 2021 more determined and stronger than ever.
Our silver-lining of 2020, is that we welcomed 4 dynamic board members that are enthusiastically committed to making IFMA NM a valuable association.
Cheers and welcome new board members: Jeremy Dreskin, Dathan Garcia, David Urioste and Rebecca Rodriguez.
Your Board of Directors and I wish you a peaceful & healthy Holiday season. Let 2021 begin.
Appreciatively yours,
Karen Leigh Cook
