Healthcare Facilities Managers consider the Annual Conference to be one of the best and most affordable opportunities for learning and sharing in Texas. Because the conference focuses on the unique opportunities and problems that we face, this event has earned a loyal following of participants. The Annual Conference delivers the best value in professional development for facility managers in Texas. In addition to its content, the conference provides ongoing opportunities to discuss emerging issues and best practices with colleagues, vendors, and consultants across a broad continuum of health care issues.
 
The 2021 Annual Conference will feature the perfect balance of thought-provoking general sessions and concurrent workshop sessions that focused on specific issues. Our multi-track program was created for facility managers, project managers, engineering/maintenance personnel, administrators, safety officers, risk managers, architects, engineers, or other interested parties.

TAHFM offers scholarships for active Facility Managers and students interested in facilities management.

The purpose of the Rufus J. Cleghorn, Jr. Memorial Scholarship is to promote and encourage the higher education of facilities management personnel. Consistent with TAHFM's mission to assist our membership in professional development through support, education and collaboration, the fund was established to provide scholarship opportunities for TAHFM members and non-members to continue or further their education or for students interested in pursuing a career in healthcare facilities management. Applications are accepted year-round.

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:

Member Spotlight

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.
