The Global Facility Management Association, Global FM, is pleased to announce the results of its
second-annual Global FM Awards for Excellence in Facilities Management.
The Global FM Awards for Excellence in Facilities Management highlight the best practices of the FM
world and recognize the strategic importance and value of facilities management. It provides worldwide
recognition to those organizations who have presented applications regarding their commitment and
successes in facilities management and continuous improvements within the profession.
Each member of Global FM was asked to submit three entries for consideration: examples of
excellence that had already been recognized within their communities. This year’s process comprised
two selection phases. The nine candidates who passed to the second selection phase were able to
submit their entry in the original language. Global FM covered all translation costs. This was seen by
the Global FM Board as a way of creating a level playing field for all Awards candidates and foster
greater participation.
The Global FM Awards Taskforce and Judging Panel were extremely encouraged by the quality and
the number of responses. A rigorous judging process, performed by volunteers from all Global FM

Teena G. Shouse, CFM, IFMA Fellow, the Chairperson of Global FM stated:
“I am glad that I waited until the entire report was complete to write this quote (much to the dismay of the publisher). It offered me an opportunity to reflect on the progress of Global FM and take pride in the accomplishments of the efforts of the members, sponsors and management team. As I look toward the 2012 horizon I am filled with hope and excitement as to the possibilities. Keep an eye on Global FM and watch the good things to come. Better yet, jump in and be a part of it! Enjoy reading the Annual Report and let us hear from you as to your thoughts on our activities and ideas for assisting us in creating a higher profile and enhanced knowledge in Facility Management.”
