Branch Committees
Representing members in their region, branch committees are a conduit for ideas and comment to the Board. They work with the management team to plan and organise regional activities and help recruit new members through local initiatives. Being involved in a committee is a great way to network, build relationships and enhance your skills as well as contribute to the betterment and growth of the industry and FM profession. If you’re interested in joining your local branch committee, get in touch with us via info@fmanz.org.
