Do You Work With The Next Facility Executive Of The Year?

Nominations are open for the 16th annual Facility Executive of the Year Award, presented by Facility Executive magazine to an industry professional who has helped to improve his or her organization through a strategic initiative or outstanding project.

Facility management professionals impact virtually every aspect of their organizations, and in recent years the scope of this work has expanded even further and in new directions. And in January 2018, Facility Executive magazine will recognize one of these leaders with its 16th Annual Facility Executive of the Year Award. Since 2003, this facility management award has recognized a member of the profession for his or her work on a strategic initiative that is effecting real change for the facilities they oversee — and their organizations overall. Or, they have skillfully executed a new construction or renovation project.

Our editorial staff is currently seeking nominations for the 2018 Facility Executive of the Year Award. Materials are due by October 17, 2017.
