Since the program began in 1992, more than 3,300 facility managers from 25 countries have achieved this prestigious recognition. Once achieved CFM’s are required to recertify every three years. The recertification process keeps CFM’s on top of their game by offering points towards recertification for attending conferences, volunteering in FM Research, participating in their local chapter and many other activities that promote and grow the profession.

These are Advancing the Business, Leading the Organization and of course Managing the Facility.
