Dear TAHFM Members,
TAHFM recognizes the difficult budget constraints facing many of your facilities during this time and has therefore made funding available through our scholarship program.

A travel stipend will also be offered to a select number of applicants in addition to the registration fee scholarship. We hope this will provide those facility members with limited resources an opportunity to attend this year's Conference.

Education, as we all know, is critical to the ongoing success of service delivery. In particular within the landscape of healthcare facilities management, where rules and regulations change often and facilities management professionals must adapt to keep their organizations safe and secure. Facilities management professionals are constantly on the go, and finding time for the requisite training can often be a challenge. With that in mind, TAHFM has developed a monthly education series called Education through Association. This is included within the cost of your membership and is intended to give you short, relevant points of information to help you and your colleagues obtain the information necessary to keep you at the top of your game.
Look out for an email from TAHFM each month on educational content/resources as well as take a peak back at past monthly content via our website:

The Membership Committee's mission is to recognize and get to know our current members better. The depth of knowledge within this group is something that we should all be proud of. As a committee, we feel that we can all learn something from each other, but that this can only be done if we share a little bit about ourselves. In an effort to get to know each other better, we have created the "Member Spotlight" where a TAHFM member will be spotlighted through our monthly TAHFM Pulse Newsletter. This is our chance to highlight you and your success to others in this industry. We are proud of our members and would be honored if you would participate.
If you are interested in participating in the TAHFM Member Spotlight, please fill out this interest form.
