How to become a member of IFMA New Orleans!

A vast amount of information is available on IFMA’s main website regarding membership in the Association. Applications for membership (even for the local chapter level) are administered by IFMA Headquarters, located in Houston, TX. Continue reading for information on how to apply.

The benefits of joining such a sophisticated, worldwide facility management association are numerous, but the members of IFMA New Orleans strongly believe that the most important benefits come from networking with peers on the local level!

So we urge you to join our chapter (annual New Orleans chapter dues = $92.00), and we will be happy to walk you through the process. Please contact us if you have questions.

Step 1: As the first step in applying for IFMA membership, we suggest you become familiar with the dues structure and the application process known as “Member’s Choice”.

Step 2: The next step toward applying for chapter membership is to understand which member classification is right for you, since the amount of your base dues will depend on your classification.

Step 3: In addition to chapter membership, you may choose to join one of IFMA’s 16 Councils, which are specialized sub-groups of facility management professionals that enable you to network within your specific industry. Joining a council is optional, not required.

Step 4: The last decision you need to make is whether to receive your IFMA benefit material electronically (recommended, and free) or by mail delivery (additional $36.00 annually).

Last step: Congratulations! You are now ready to apply and join IFMA New Orleans!
