Dear Colleagues:  Hopefully all of you are well both physically as well as mentally during this trying time.  As we embark on our next meeting, the NJ IFMA Program's Committee has circled us back to our core competencies as FMs.  COVID-19, while very important, has been an exhausting experience.  This meeting gives us an opportunity to get back to NJ IFMA's roots on just as an important matter that has an impact on how we run our facilities:  Fire Codes & Standards.  I look forward to having you join us for this important subject matter.

Regards,
Israel Rodriguez, CFM
NJ IFMA President
