The New York State Physical Plant Managers Association (P.P.M.A.) has been in existence since May 17, 1973 as a non-profit organization established under the corporate laws of New York. The purpose of the Association is to act as a general forum for its members and to promote the interests of maintenance and engineering practices focusing on greater operational and safety-related enhancements within the work place. The Physical Plant Managers Association strives to utilize an education and training component to enhance the knowledge, skills and ability of all Physical Plant, Support and Safety workforce who survey and maintain an environment of care. The Association's objective is to provide an efficient, safe, caring, and therapeutic environment to all clients, staff and visitors who utilize our facilities and campuses. On an interagency basis, the Association provides up-to-date and current education and training in all areas of safety, security, emergency management, fire prevention, medical equipment, environmental compliance, energy and utility management systems.
The P.P.M.A. recognizes not only the commonality of maintenance needs and requirements that exist within all agencies but also the responsibility to educate and enhance the awareness of New York State's Physical Plant, Support and Safety workforce. Toward that end, the Physical Plant Managers Association provides an academic environment of inter-department where a collective thought process promotes pride, professionalism and dignity in our daily approach to providing support to our clients we serve in the Public Sector. As managers, we strive to promote the daily leadership skills needed and learn from past experiences as well as facing the new challenges that await us ahead in the future years. |
