Community Mission
The mission of the Facilities Asset Management (FAM) Community of Interest is to enhance the efficient, effective, and sustainable stewardship of federal facilities. We achieve this by connecting Department of Defense and industry leaders with those seeking knowledge in asset management (AM), providing a collaborative platform for sharing resources, technologies, and strategies that support informed decision-making and risk management. Through research, advocacy, and professional development, we address current and future challenges in facility management to ensure long-term success.
