Development & Governance of the ProFM® Credential

In February of 2018, the Professional Facility Management Institute (ProFMI) launched the ProFM credential as a new global standard for the built environment knowledge and competency. Prior to the credential’s introduction, a Commission was appointed, consisting of industry thought leaders from around the world, to validate and govern the ProFM Body of Knowledge. This ProFMI Commission currently consists of:

§ Stormy Friday	The Friday Group	United States
§ Terry Vergon	Alorica	United States
§ Darrell Rounds	General Motors	United States
§ David Brady	Silver Loc Associates	United States
§ Stan Mitchell	Key Facilities Management	Scotland
§ Eileen McMorrow	The McMorrow Reports	United States
§ Stefanie Driscoll	Ferrandino & Sons	United States
§ John Hajduk	Sodexo	United States
§ Kylash Ramesh	National Institutes of Health	United States
§ Andrey Kharitonov	Ernst & Young	Russia
§ Ericka Westgard	C&W Services	United States
§ Randy Olson	Holmes Corporation	United States

Based on global industry research, ProFMI and its Commission identified a critical unmet need for built environment professionals to obtain the most up-to-date knowledge and skills to optimize the performance of buildings and the people within them.
