IFMA San Diego - Online Member Database Updates
|
|
 As you may or may not know, IFMA San Diego has recently switched web platforms for our already award-winning website. In doing so, we gained some new assets we didn't have before and others that we haven't had in a while. One of those is the ability to search for members by business type.
This is extremely valuable as
- Professional members can search for a business partner by the trade
- Business partners can look up one another for networking opportunities; and
- Other professional members can look up each other for facilities related advice.
- There's many applications
But.... we need your help with these updates. If you are a IFMA San Diego Chapter Member and have not done this already, please email us the following information at
IFMA SAN DIEGO
- List of your keywords that describes your business
- Brief description of your products/services
- Note: Only members (on an individual basis) are granted access to this information and the database. And. only members are loaded into the database.
If you have any questions, please email contact our communications committee co-chair, STEVE MILINKEVICH
