2026 Holiday Gala, Awards & Silent Auction

Description

For nearly 45 years, the Denver Chapter of IFMA has taken great pleasure in recognizing the outstanding achievements of individual members and our partners. Our Holiday Gala is a time our chapter comes together to celebrate the prior year’s achievements and successes and support a local nonprofit in the process with our silent auction. Our Gala ensures award-winners are recognized in front of their peers for their extraordinary accomplishments. The Diamond Awards Program recognizes the finest advancements and contributions in facility management within the Denver A/E/C community. Be among the elite who recognize excellence in an individual, a project, a service, or an improved process or system.

Special thanks to our Co-Host:
