IFMA Industries Forum 2009 - EDI's Commitment to Facilities Management

One of the main goals of the EDI team is to maintain its dedication and commitment to the industries we serve. This week, you will find some of our team members at the International Facility Management Association's (IFMA) Industries Forum in lovely Vancouver, British Columbia (home to the 2010 Winter Olympic Games). EDI is a proud member of IFMA, attending several of their forums every year.

IFMA continuously strives to provide its members with opportunities to interact, share information and best practices, and build business relationships with industry colleagues. This year marks IFMA's third Industries Forum, an event geared toward IFMA council and community members and the issues and concerns specific to their varied areas of practice.
