IFMA Boston celebrates volunteers on December 4th with an appreciation event at King’s

Boston, MA IFMA Boston celebrated our volunteers on December 4th with an appreciation event at King’s in Burlington. Our volunteers are the backbone of IFMA Boston, and it is only because of them that we can offer a wide array of programming for our facility manager end users as well as our associate members. 

IFMA Boston also honored five volunteers for their outstanding contribution to the chapter over the past year. The honorees were: John Huntington, account manager at Creative Office Resources and the co-chair of the logistics committee; Adele Manty, director of food solutions at HUNGRY and a member of the logistics committee; Phil Donahue, senior manager - corporate support services at Staples and a member of the Think Tank committee; Blake Reynolds, senior operations manager at CBRE and a member of the Think Tank Committee and John Fantasia, business development at Re-Stream and a member of the logistics committee. 

 

 

We are gearing up for a busy 2024 and are looking for more volunteers to help plan our upcoming calendar year. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer reach out to Georgiana Olwell at geo@ifmaboston.org to learn more. 

On December 11th Margo Crawford of Wave Productivity shared her Secrets to Being Powerfully Productive during a webinar to the membership. Members learned how to tame the tasks, obligations, and emails that we all navigate every day. There were also tips for implementing techniques to improve focus and clarity as well as how to stop multitasking and start focusing and learning how to maximize time. Everyone agreed that more time is what we all need during the holiday season!
