APPA defines an Emerging Professional as “someone who has recently begun a career in the field of Facilities Management.” They may have been involved in Facilities in other organizations/agencies but are now learning about the educational facilities environment. Many of them bring the following attributes to the educational facilities management profession:

Fresh new ideas to share and implement
Desire to be engaged and be active at the chapter, regional, national, and international levels
Different perspectives and challenge the status quo
Motivated to be engaged with the broader membership
Provide significant contributions and seeking mentoring opportunities
May introduce different modes of information technology
Aspire for growth in leadership and/or a career in Facilities Management
