Chair, SAME Facilities Asset Management COI
Welcome to the SAME Facilities Asset Management COI! With the onset of more constrained funding, hybrid workspaces and extreme weather effects layered on top of aging facilities and infrastructure the need for AM knowledge and collaboration is greater than ever.
The FAM COI offers a unique opportunity to bring together DoD and Industry AM thought leaders and AM seekers to explore knowledge, resources, and technologies to enable confident analysis and decision making while managing risk.
I invite you to partake in our variety of forums from webinars to FAM Session Track and the FAM Forum at JETC. Our Geospatial Working group offers collaborations across industries and agencies on cutting edge technologies to enable site picture generation, digital surveying and 3D modeling.
For those interested in more interaction, we invite you to join our steering group to direct the COI activities or share your AM knowledge through a speaking engagement. Join us in the national Asset Management journey.
