What is MASMS?
A member oriented, problem solving, professional growth association designed for educational facilities management professional.
What Does MASMS offer to Vendor and School Members?
Networking Members have the opportunity to meet and network with facilities managers and industry professionals from throughout Minnesota. All members are invited to attend all monthly chapter meetings and association events, as well as participate in MASMS committees.
Information Sharing and Discussion MASMS provides a forum for members to discuss the pertinent issues facing facility managers today. Many members find they face similar challenges, and offer each other assistance and support.
Resources All members receive an annual membership directory, including contact information for all school and vendor members. Members receive the MASMS Messenger Newsletter, filled with association news and informational articles. They also have access to the MASMS web site, and the MASMS list serve, which can be used to solicit input, advertise employment openings, or promote events--just to name a few.
Education Educational sessions are presented at each chapter meetings. A yearly statewide convention, held in St. Cloud, offers a variety of educational seminars, and a vendor exhibit show featuring the latest products and technology available in the industry. In June, Custodial/Maintenance Days gives facilities managers and their staffs to attend hands-on, interactive sessions and attend a vendor exhibit fair.
MASMS has been very active in developing on-going educational opportunities for its members. "The MASMS Institute - Training from the Trenches for the Professional Facilities Director" is a two-day course providing training for the facilities directors, buildings and grounds supervisors, and building maintenance engineers. MASMS (in conjunction with AFE - the Association of Facilities Engineers) currently offers three certification programs: the Certified Plant Manager (CPE), the Certified Plant Maintenance Manager (CPMM) and the Certified Plant Supervisor (CPS) programs.
