Kia ora ,

Well, 2025 is certainly living up to its reputation - kicking off at speed and showing no signs of slowing down! From sector-wide conversations on digital transformation to major developments in policy and procurement, it’s been a dynamic start to the year.

A standout moment last month was DigiCom 2025, where FM unexpectedly took a well-deserved spotlight. From digital twins to operational outcomes, the kōrero signalled a clear shift toward whole-of-life thinking - FMANZ was proud to be part of it. You can read more about our involvement here.

We’re keeping a close eye on the Government Procurement Rules consultation. It’s important our voice is heard, given the significant expenditure our sector represents. If you haven’t already, we encourage you to explore the consultation and consider making a submission. 

A quick note on individual membership fees: you’ll notice a small increase applied at your next renewal. This adjustment helps us keep pace with rising costs and continue investing in the services, events, and advocacy that support you and the wider FM community.

Meanwhile, a big thank you to everyone who submitted nominations for this year’s Ngā Tohu a FMANZ Awards. Nominations are now closed and judging is underway, with finalists to be announced soon. We look forward to celebrating with you all at our dedicated awards night on 24 July in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. Keep an eye out for surrounding events designed to encourage you to join us from across the motu.

And don’t forget - World FM Day is just around the corner! We’re celebrating with the return of our popular quiz events, bringing FM professionals together to mark the occasion across Aotearoa.

As always, thank you for the energy, ideas and commitment you bring to our community - whether that’s through events, learning, or simply showing up for each other in your everyday work.
