  Tapper Jabber
  Looking to partner to be more effective & efficient?
  Tap the expertise of the IFMA Seattle Associates at this upcoming Tapper Jabber!
  Special $5.00 recession buster participation fee!
  
  In our last meeting Distinguished Educator, Dean Kashiwagi, PhD, PE in his session entitled
  "Crossroads: The Transformation and Survival of the Professional Facility Manager" spoke about how Facility Manager's and their personnel can complete projects with less work, but yielding better results. The key was tapping the expertise of partners.
  
  Join Associate "Experts" during the first hour in a speed dating type format as they provide a brief (5 minute) presentation on how their goods/services align with the current 9 IFMA Competencies to provide you with valuable resources. Members will complete a survey at the end to "test their recall" of the presentation content. The survey is your entry into an end of the evening (around 7:00 p.m.) drawing for prize(s) that have been donated by the Associate "Experts".
  
  The second hour of this event is the Tapper (drinks/food) Jabber (networking) portion which may include an activity option, e.g. darts, pool, etc.
