How has TAHFM/ASHE contributed to your career?
Advocacy- At ASHE and TAHFM events, I have been able to speak directly with the leaders of deeming agencies (TJC, DNV and even CMS) to discuss issues related to codes and standards Knowledge- Having the opportunity to learn tips and tactics from my peers on a number of subjects such as reliability, efficiency nd sustainability helps me run my operations in a more efficient manner. Information Sharing- I have presented at a number of TAHFM conferences and enjoy sharing tips and experiences with other Facility managers Networking- Meeting people in the industry, learning how they have solved a similar problem I have had, or just enjoying the company of like-minded industry professionals is very satisfying.
 

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.
