PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
I can’t believe it is September already, and for those of us who are football fans, life is about to get better-Go Wolfpack! In August, we had Anna Javellana, Addicted to Busy, as our guest speaker, and it was well received.
Our next event is scheduled for September 15th from 4:00p to 6:00pm and is a Meet the Committees event at Lynnwood Brewing Concern. For our new IFMA members, this is a great opportunity to network and see how each of the committees support the Chapter. For the rest of us, this is also a great time to network and sample a beverage or two. Over the past few months our Chapter has grown, so if you see a new face or someone you don’t recognize, please help these new members feel welcome. Our Chapter has an incredible amount of talent and experience; we need to share those resources with colleagues to ensure we’re providing value to the Chapter.
For those of you who have registered for World Workplace, I look forward to seeing you there. You should have received an email regarding a tour on September 27th at 3:00pm at Asurion Gulch Hub followed by a Joint Social with the Charlotte Chapter. Thank you to everyone who coordinated to make this event possible. I am excited and looking forward to it. For those of you who haven’t registered for this tour, there is still time as you have until Friday, September 16th to RSVP.
Ethan Tecklenberg, CFM, JLL
President 2022-2023

AUGUST MONTHLY MEETING RECAP
Thank you, Anna Javellana, for speaking with our chapter for our August 10th luncheon. In facilities management, it is easy to go down a rabbit hole and become distracted by the next “emergency” at our site. Anna shared some insights to help us take ownership of OUR time boundaries and learn to manage distractions to do more with less time and energy.
