Best Management Practices for EM education

To incorporate equipment management education into chapter education events, consider the following best practices used by chapters who’ve held successful EM education.

• Include an equipment manager on your education committee.
• Include an equipment manager on your board.
• Host equipment management education meetings one to two times per year.
• Rotate meeting locations between local maintenance facilities.
• Use the competencies and testing objectives outlined in the Equipment Management Certificate Program study guides to develop the learning objectives for events.
• After identifying the learning objectives, reach out to industry partners, components manufacturers or equipment managers for education instruction
• Build an email listserve of local equipment managers and survey the list for desirable education topics. Survey the audience to gauge their interest in fundamental vs. advanced content.
• Host a meeting with a GCSAA Equipment Management Series webinar as your education.
