The Facility Management Association (FMA) is the peak industry body in Australia for facilities management companies, including GJK Facility Services. I have been proud to serve as a member of the FMA for 20 years, and to serve on the National Board for more than 10 years.

During that time, I’ve held various roles including Finance Director, member of the Audit Committee, Victorian Vice-Chair, Victorian Chair, and currently National Vice-Chair.

I was deeply honoured during an awards ceremony last week to be formally recognised as a lifetime member of the FMA, an honour that leaves me as humbled as I am proud.

The FMA does a fantastic job representing, educating and supporting individuals and businesses in our industry. Often, facilities management is overlooked or misunderstood in the community, but our work is vital to caring for the operational management of Australia’s built environments.
