Kit Tuveson on You Tube - Sustainable FM Pilot Class

See Kit describe IFMA's new Sustainable FM Two-Day Workshop. I attended and I can personally say that this class is the missing link for most folks. Trust me. Whether you are a new to the movement or you bear some scars from the green battle, Kit will give you tools and strategies on which to rely when you are implementing green FM initiatives.
