FM Careers : 11th Fastest Growing Salaries
According to a report at MSN Careerbuilder, Facility Managers are projected to have the 11th highest growth in salary this year in North America, with over a 4% increase over last year. Their figures show that current salaries are $89,262 US on average. Not bad for a profession that many don't even know about.
If you want to boost your own visibility in your organization, read our blog entry Why your Organization needs a professional FM.

Conference : Energy Matters 2010
Hosted by the Region of Peel in Ontario, Canada, this unique conference brings together North America and Europe’s most influential leaders to support activities that shed the burden of growing energy costs on your bottom line.
The Energy Matters Summit is Ontario's leading public sector energy management conference. The event brings together hundreds of public agencies including municipalities and provinces, universities, colleges, school boards and healthcare organizations to promote strategies that manage energy costs, control consumption and explore the leading tools and technologies available to shape policies on these matters.
