Last week I was facilitating the Professional Facilities Manager 2, on behalf of BIFM Training, and the topic came up - 'what do you call a group of FMs?'
So the search is on for a suitable collective noun. Here's what the delegates came up with:
A...
Cluster
Worry
Whinge
Solution
Challenge
Frustration
Rush
Madness
Faculty
Stress
...of FMs.

An exciting new role from 1 June
I am thrilled that from next week I will be taking over as Chair of Women in FM (WiFM), which is a special interest group run for the benefit of BIFM members (www.bifm.org.uk)
Our aim as a group is to promote women within the FM sector throughout the United Kingdom, to encourage them to join the industry, to develop their careers and to provide networking groups at which knowledge and ideas can be shared. All BIFM members, women and men, are welcome to join us at our planned forums throughout the year throughout the country. In order to meet as much of our target audience as possible, these are held in both the afternoons and the evenings.
People in the industry with experiences to share tell their stories at forums across the UK. The forums encourage open discussion around subjects that are pertinent to everyone involved and there is often the opportunity for a building tour led by the Facilities Manager at the venue.

Facilities Management – Women's Perspective
Women are severely under represented in the construction industry - our latest research has shown that there is a high demand for more communication channels between them” Dr Lisa Worrell (Salford University).
This event will introduce the topic of women and Facilities Management (FM), how women employed in the construction industry can engage with each other and why FM offers greater opportunities and is more appealing than related sectors.
Discussions will focus on the relevant issues such as the benefits and opportunities for women in FM, the barriers faced. There will also be an opportunity to talk about questions such as Is it right to have women-focused events? Why is this effective? What are the proven benefits?
Liz Kentish The FM Coach will be presenting her viewpoint - What works? - and exploring the evidence on how women and men network differently.
Book now for this workshop on 3 June 2009 in London.
