Overview:

Join us on the AFE SmartTEAM LMS for an educational and networking opportunity you will not want to miss! 

 

For more than a century, the Association for Facilities Engineering (AFE) has led the way in providing educational resources and professional tools to active and emerging building maintenance, facilities management and construction professionals around the globe.  The AFE Founders Day Reception, our premier annual networking event, not only celebrates that legacy but also provides an opportunity for our Members and guests to broaden their personal and professional networks plus explore new business opportunities. 

 

Since 2019, the Founders Day Reception has become an opportunity to recognize an individual whose work in the FM space embodies the same spirit that inspired Harry S. Dennison and E. B. Freeman to plant the seeds that spurred the formation of the Plant Engineers Club in 1915, which eventually grew to become the American Institute of Plant Engineers (AIPE) and finally matured into AFE.  So, it was fitting the AFE Founders Award should be renamed for the late, great Fred W. King, humanitarian and long-time AFE leader on both the local and national level.  Fred King not only modeled the principles underlying the intent of this special recognition through his many personal and professional accomplishments, but Fred also paved the way for scores of emerging FM professionals throughout the State of Minnesota and beyond to experience growth in their careers and make lasting contributions of their own to the industry.  Therefore, The The Fred W. King Award for Lifetime Achievement recognizes an AFE Member who has made an indelible mark on both the built environment and community-at-large. 

 

In addition to fellowshipping among your colleagues and peers, we will also host a special silent auction to benefit the AFE Foundation.  The AFE Foundation seeks to advance research and education in engineering and other scientific fields related to the A / E / C industry by funding research, granting scholarships and sponsoring educational events.  Please follow this link to find out more about the AFE Foundation and how you can contribute.
