Chapter Spotlight

🚨Your Chapter Needs Backup! 🚨

Learn More About Our Committees HERE

GOOD THINGS NEED GOOD PEOPLE.


Our volunteers do some incredible things behind the scenes, but there's only so much a handful of people can accomplish.


From planning programs and building connections to exploring new ideas and shaping the future of ifmaKC, there's a lot happening—and even more we'd like to do.


But we need more helping hands to make it happen.

Right now, we're looking for members willing to jump in, share their talents and help keep our chapter moving forward.


AND THAT'S WHERE YOU COME IN!


Committees that need help are:


👉 Professional Development/Programs

👉 Communications

👉 Membership

👉 Strategic Planning & Governance

👉 Sponsorship

👉 Nominations & Succession Planning


You don’t have to do it all! Just bring a willingness to help to the table.

The Data Blindspot

By Honghao Deng

Uncovering hidden workplace costs

WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW CAN HURT YOUR BUDGET.


Your building may be telling you exactly where time, energy and money are being wasted—but are you getting the data you need to hear it?


As workplace patterns continue to shift, traditional schedules and assumptions aren’t always keeping up. Spaces sit empty while they’re heated, cooled and cleaned. Other areas are overused and underserved. And major facility decisions are still being made without a clear picture of how people are actually using the building.



The Data Blindspot explores what better occupancy and usage data can reveal—and how those insights can help FMs reduce costs, improve operations and create workplaces that actually work for the people using them.

Are you managing the building you think you have—or the one people are actually using?
