NYAPPA hosts professional development meetings three times a year—in the spring, summer, and fall—rotating among member institutions throughout New York and nearby regions. These one-day events feature two engaging, high-quality educational sessions designed for facilities professionals at all levels, from senior leadership to frontline supervisors.
Each session is crafted to help participants strengthen technical knowledge, develop leadership and people-management skills, and explore emerging trends and best practices within the facilities management field. Topics vary to ensure relevance and value for every attendee.
Our meetings begin with a light continental breakfast and a brief business update, which includes welcome remarks and insights from NYAPPA and our regional and national APPA partners. Following the educational sessions, attendees enjoy a mid-morning break, a networking lunch, and often a guided campus tour hosted by the meeting’s institution.
These gatherings provide excellent opportunities for institutional and business members to connect, share ideas, and discuss successes and challenges in a collaborative environment.
