The IWFM Veterans in FM Network is a dedicated community of members passionate about attracting, supporting, and retaining military veterans, service leavers, and their families in the workplace and facilities management sector.
We believe FM is a natural career choice for veterans due to the highly transferable skills, strong work ethic, and leadership qualities they bring from their military service. Our network provides a supportive space where veterans can connect, share experiences, and develop their careers through mentorship, networking, and industry engagement. As part of this commitment, IWFM offers armed forces veterans discounted Affiliate membership or a free membership assessment when joining as a professional member, helping them transition smoothly into the sector and build successful, long-term careers.
Visit the IWFM Veterans in FM LinkedIn Group for the latest discussions and updates and events.
If you have a question about our Network, please contact our Chair or IWFM’s Community team directly.
