Bringing Facilities Professionals Together
Through Networking and Education
The Association for Facilities Engineering (AFE) was founded in Boston around 1900 and has since grown into a national organization. AFE is dedicated to equipping today’s facilities professionals with the leadership, education, training, and certifications they need to stay ahead in an increasingly technical field.
AFE brings together facilities directors, owners, operators, and experienced contractors who understand the unique demands of both modern and historic buildings. At its core, AFE fosters a strong network focused on sharing knowledge and addressing the evolving challenges in facility design, operations, and maintenance.
Our chapter hosts monthly meetings—typically on or near the fourth Thursday of each month—that feature facility tours and technical presentations. These events offer behind-the-scenes access to some of the most notable and diverse facilities in the Pioneer Valley, along with expert insights into the complex issues facilities professionals face today.
