The Officers and the Board of Directors for the Massachusetts Facilities Administrator’s Association would like to take the opportunity to welcome our members and visitors to our website.

My name is Paul Anastasi; I am the Facilities Operations Manager for the Newton Public Schools and current President of the Massachusetts Facilities Administrator’s Association (MFAA). I have been a member of MFAA for over 13 years and served on several committees as well as Secretary, Vice-President and now President. The association has given me the opportunity to expand my networking with peers throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts far beyond my expectations.

This website has proven to be a wealth of information for our members and has made us visible to the world with over 1100 hits each day. Our membership is growing steadily and attendance at our monthly meetings has more than doubled in the past three years. Typically each meeting has an informative speaker that will present subject matter pertinent to the current events in the daily life of a facilities manger. Our guest speaker’s topics could be anything from the proper compaction of asphalt parking lots to filing your communities I.P.M. plan with the Department of Agriculture. If you are a member and have not attended a meeting please take the time to come and spend a few hours with the people that share your day to day experiences working in the municipal world. Trust me when I say, you are not alone. These meeting end up to be a great therapy session, our stories are the same with the only changes from town to town being the names. If you are a potential member please contact me directly (617-559-9005) and be my guest at our next monthly meeting.

The association will strive to continue providing training to our members through the Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) course and to recognize the expertise of the membership through the Certified Facilities Administrator’s certification (CFA). Our website will be used to share valuable information between members and to keep a catalog commonly used specifications and proposals at our fingertips.

Please join us as we move our facilities forward using teamwork, professionalism and camaraderie.

Sincerely
Paul Anastasi
M.F.A.A. President
