I want to take this opportunity to thank our Chapter membership for the very strong showing at our Membership Appreciation Event that was recently held at the Angus Barn Pavilion.  It was a great evening of camaraderie in a very comfortable environment.  Our team that works throughout the year in developing these events was very pleased to see so many of our members take time out of their busy schedules to join us.  Speaking for the Chapter, I would like to say thank you to our sponsors for their strong support which allows events like this to be possible!

Looking forward to seeing our Chapter response to the Toys for Tots Drive, which is now in full swing.  If each member gives this some thought, we can truly make a difference in bringing a bit of joy to children in need this holiday season.  We are collecting toys through several donation boxes as below:

1) Diversified Audio Visual, 300 Perimeter Park Dr. Suite A, Morrisville, NC 27560
2) Q2, 4324 S Alston Avenue, Durham, NC  27723
3) GreenView Partners, 5909 Triangle Drive, Raleigh, NC  27617
4) Bond Brothers, 202 E Cedar Street, Cary, NC  27511

We will have a truck to collect all boxes and additional toys at our Wednesday, December 13th luncheon meeting at the Embassy Suites in Cary. 

Season’s Greetings!

Speaker:  Dr. Jolene Erlacher  BIO

Title: Understanding and Maximizing Generational Differences and Strengths

Description: An essential workshop that provides an overview of the core characteristics, values and needs of the different generations represented in our society today. Millennials (ages 22-36) have now surpassed Baby Boomers as the majority of the workforce in America. They bring with them unique expectations, perspectives and needs. Often differences in work ethic, communication styles, and measurements of success result in frustration and misunderstanding. This workshop provides valuable insights into generational strengths and differences, and insights into navigating them effectively!

When: Wednesday, December 13, 2017 from 11:30AM - 1:30PM

Do not forget to bring a new and unwrapped toy for children ages 0-16 or your collection box for our Toys for Tots drive!

IFMA Foundation Speaker:  Jeffery J. Tafel, CAE Bio

Description:  The FM profession is facing a talent gap with more practitioners exiting the profession (primarily by retirement) than those choosing FM as their chosen profession.  The IFMA Foundation is focused on educating all about the FM profession and ensuring the necessary education is in place to bring as many trained and educated FM’s into the profession as possible. 

Learn up-to-the-minute details on the Foundation’s “Global Workforce Initiative” and how Chapters can get involved with high school and community college outreach and exactly what is needed to make FM a Career of Choice in the Greater Triangle region and the state of North Carolina.  Jeff will present on the successes in the Foundation regional pilot locations and how the Foundation supports FM workforce development volunteers.
