Submit Your Nominee

Each year, Today's Facility Manager sponsors the annual Facility Executive of the Year competition. This honor recognizes the achievements of an individual involved in a recent construction or renovation project (preferably completed between January 2009 and June 2010). As the industry's most prestigious form of recognition, TFM's Facility Executive of the Year includes featured coverage in TFM's January 2012 issue. Winners will also be invited to participate and speak at a TFM event in April 2012 (details to be finalized at a later date).

Individuals may nominate themselves or be nominated by a person, agency, or member of TFM's Editorial Advisory Board or staff. Clients can be nominated, as long as the nominee is a qualified facility manager from an owner occupied building. Unfortunately, property managers from third party firms are not eligible. The nominee must approve his/her nomination and must currently be employed by the company where the project took place.
