The FM Pipeline Team, in conjunction with SkillsUSA Minnesota and IFMA Minneapolis, ran a successful Inaugural Facilithon Competition in that state on Wednesday and Thursday April 14th & 15th, 2021.  The judging contingent was coordinated  by IFMA Fellow and FM Pipeline Team co-founder Peggy McCarthy, Cushman & Wakefield Facility Director and pipeline Liaison team member Allecia McDonald.

“The launch of Facilithon-Minnesota really emphasizes the years of tenacity and long hours recently that Peggy and Allecia put into these high school students. We have them to thank for everything there”, said Jim Zirbel, FM Pipeline Team co-director.

Jessa Dahmes, SkillsUSA MN Director, made an appearance at the 2021 FM Pipeline national Awards Gala and shared her commentary on how it lit up and where she plans it to expand.
