We are pleased to announce the release of two new efforts from APPA to our members. The first is the totally revamped format for Facilities Manager magazine, which you are reading right now. In 2019 we ceased publication of a print magazine but retained the traditionally designed and formatted magazine “look” for FM. We published articles as PDF files that could be read easily on your computer or tablet – but not so well on your phone – and each issue was also available as an electronic flipbook that could be scrolled and searched.
This issue of Facilities Manager introduces a new and better way to read and use the valuable content we provide in the magazine. All features and columns are now integrated into our WordPress content management system and thus are more easily searched via the APPA website. You’ll find the September/October table of contents and links to the articles here.
This issue includes the following articles:
- A profile of APPA’s President Jim Jackson of the University of Nebraska Lincoln
- Interviews with FM HR directors on how their staffs are coping during the COVID pandemic
- An excerpted chapter from APPA’s recent update of Operational Guidelines for Educational Facilities: Grounds
- Our Tech + Technology column on vulnerabilities and threat assessments
- A Code Talkers column on informatics’ next steps
- And much more
We thank our advertisers for their continued support of APPA and Facilities Manager:
