President's Report
Spring has brought plenty of momentum to IFMA Permian Basin, and I’m proud to share that our chapter membership is currently at an all-time high. That growth reflects the energy, commitment, and community this chapter continues to build together.
We still have our sights set on an ambitious goal of reaching 50 members this year, and we are close enough to taste it. If you know a facilities professional, service provider, or industry partner who would benefit from connection, education, and involvement, now is a great time to invite them in. There is always room at the table.
Nominations for the 2026-2027 Board of Directors are now in full swing, with elections taking place in the coming months. Serving this chapter has been both an honor and a front-row seat to what can happen when dedicated people decide to build something meaningful. If you’ve ever considered stepping into a leadership role, I encourage you to raise your hand. Fresh ideas are how good chapters become great ones.
I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished together and grateful for every member who has helped shape this chapter since its founding. I cannot wait to see what comes next for IFMA Permian Basin. If our recent growth is any indication, the future looks bright...and probably very busy.
Thank you for being part of the journey.
