About the Delaware Chapter of IFMA
Founded in 1990 by Youness Baftechi and now in its 16th year, the Delaware Chapter of IFMA is our local chapter of the International Facility Management Association. The Chapter brings local facility managers together to gather knowledge on facility-related issues and exchange ideas via monthly meetings. The chapter has over 120 members, including four elected executive board positions, and six appointed chairpersons. Chapter meetings are held the first Tuesday of each month, September through June, and offer a variety of programs and meeting formats. Please check our current meeting section on this website to get specific details about upcoming program meetings.
The Delaware Chapter of IFMA participates in the local community by supporting various charitable endeavors. Each year the chapter hosts a golf outing as a fundraiser for the New Castle County chapter of Habitat for Humanity. We have been proud to make donations each year, at times reaching $20,000. Our membership also provides "sweat equity" in volunteering to work on the chapter's sponsored home. In addition to our work with Habitat, we support the profession of facility management by offering an academic scholarship at Delaware Technical College for individuals who are pursuing a degree in this field.
We welcome you to attend one of our meetings to learn more about our chapter and to explore the many resources and benefits that come with membership in the Delaware Chapter of IFMA.
