November was an exciting and productive month for IFMA

By Brian Ostrowe, IFMANovember has been an exciting and productive month for the NYC Chapter of IFMA. The markets and industry continue to evolve rapidly, and IFMA NYC continues to evolve with them. In the face of these changes, members of IFMA are able to draw upon the strong network of experienced professionals, innovative ideas and best practices that IFMA New York City chapter consistently provides. I am proud to be part of an organization that continues to provide its membership with superior programming and outstanding executive and committee leadership. On the programming front, we recently attended World Workplace Facility Conference and Expo in San Antonio, Texas, and we are pleased to announce that IFMA NYC won the opportunity to host Futurist and Technologist, Dr. Jack Bacon, for an upcoming program on non-linear work environments. The conference was thought-provoking and enlightening for our member attendees, and we look forward to World Workplace Facility Conference 2012! As we prepare for the holiday season, I would like to extend my gratitude for your continued membership. IFMA NYC greatly appreciates your dedication to our organization and to your network of professional colleagues. With your active support, IFMA New York City continues to provide networking and educational opportunities, and we welcome your input as we plan our 2012 agenda. Best wishes for a great Holiday Season and New Year! Brian Ostrowe is the president of IFMA NYC, New York, N.Y. Brian Ostrowe, Prudential Douglas Elliman
