Women in FM - new Specialist Interest Group announced

Last night, at the Women in FM event at the RCN in London, the group was formally recognised as a Specialist Interest Group (SIG). This means that the group now has a recognised status, formal representation and a voice in the decision-making structure of the BIFM, our institute.

It also means greater coverage in FM World and on the BIFM website www.bifm.org.uk to promote events and support communication, access to sponsorship and marketing relationships that the institute enjoys centrally, the opportunity to tap into other initiatives and support such as the Succession Planning Panel which can help our members move on to roles within other groups in the BIFM if they wish to.

I am proud to be a small and relatively new part of this new Specialist Interest Group and commend it to you all - both women and men!
