IFMA | International Facility Management Association
Welcome to CIC-IFMA
From the Chapter President
Everything is turning green. The mowers are running full speed in central Illinois. Up north, Facility Fusion was a success with record setting attendance. There were plenty of great programs and networking opportunities. I met with the Chicago Chapter leaders and NIU to discuss current and future educational opportunities for our members.
NIU is considering offering an online degree program in Facility Management. We will pass along any information we receive as progress is made on this great opportunity.
Speaking of opportunities it is that time of year again to get out your clubs and join us at the 11th annual Central Illinois Chapter
Scholarship Golf Outing at the Lincoln IL Elks Club on May 18th. The scramble best ball format provides plenty of fun even for a hacker like me and the funds go to a good cause. As always this is your organization and we always welcome your feedback to ensure we can meet your needs. Have a great Spring and enjoy all
of those landscaping projects!
Sincerely,
Mark Wilson CFM CEM
President Central Illinois IFMA
The 11th Annual CI Chapter of IFMA Scholarship Golf Outing begins in
Hope to see you there!

May 2012 Chapter Program:
11th Annual CI Chapter of IFMA Scholarship Golf Outing
It's 2012 and it's time to start thinking about participating in the Central Illinois Chapter of IFMA's highly successful and extremely fun annual golf outing to raise money for student scholarships. Every year we hand out one or more student scholarships to students who apply, and who are studying architecture, facility management, interior design, engineering, or any other field of study centered around the built environment.
This year we will again be using a scramble format, and you do not need to be an IFMA member to participate, although we would like at least one team member to be an IFMA member, or the team sponsored by an IFMA member. We would love to see the ladies participate, and have at least one on each team, but not a requirement.
ALL PROCEEDS GO DIRECTLY INTO OUR STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP FUND.
When: Friday, May 18, 2012 10:30 AM - 8:00 PM
Where: Lincoln Elks Golf and Country Club
1060 1520th St., Lincoln, IL 62656
