In this post-pandemic landscape, the facility management industry has changed. Supply chain struggles are delaying projects months or even years. A hybrid workplace is changing tenant demands. The Great Resignation has created staff vacancies with replacement workers in short supply.

Given this current state of the industry, we've assembled a panel of leading facility managers to discuss how best to overcome these challenges and more. We examine why now is the best time to invest in your staff and how to progress your career in facility management.

Our panel represents a variety of market types so all facility executives, maintenance managers and engineers will come away with advice to improve their facilities, departments and themselves.

Panelists include:

• Doug Pearson, VP of Facilities Planning and Operations at Kent State University

• Jessica Bickel, Facilities Coordinator for Reece Group USA

• Levron Schuchalter, Deputy Director of Facilities Management and Services Program for the National Capital Region of the General Services Administration

• Keith W. Watkins, Director of Facilities, City School District of New Rochelle
