The “Shared Practice” meetings provide an opportunity for you to talk with your colleagues and peers about the many common topics associated with managing a cultural facility. You can discuss what is working/not, ask any questions about an issue you are facing, share your lessons learned with others, and otherwise network and learn from each other.
Some meetings have a presentation, others are open discussion. The meetings are open to all folks working on utility facility management and projects. Your participation is a valuable to the overall group. If you have not attended one of these before, read about Shared Practice meetings.
Normally the Fourth Wednesday of the month from January to October, except for World Workplace Conference month – Check the schedule for the current list of upcoming meeting dates and times.
Meeting Details
October 22, 2025
3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific
We have NO meeting in September because of the Fall Utilities Council meeting in Minneapolis.
The tentative topic for October’s meeting is a Discussion of CRE/FM Services Procurement Practices.
How do you arrange for a strong pool of service providers across you territory who provide good service, competitive pricing, and meet the corporate procurement and safety requirements. Join a discussion with your peers to see what they are doing and share lessons learned!
Time permitting, we will also discuss any other questions you may have for the group.
Please also take this months’ shared practice survey on this topic (not yet available). It takes just a few minutes and your input is greatly appreciated. Upon completion of the survey, you will return to this page.
