CAFM Office Hours: Business Management with Kate Vigneau, CAFM (August 2024)

The notion of “office hours” traces its roots back to an academic tradition. During this designated time, students were aware that they could visit a professor’s office to seek advice, discuss ideas, tackle challenges, and find solutions with the guidance of an expert.  Now, you have the opportunity to benefit from Office Hours as well!  Rather than meeting with professors, you’ll have the chance to connect with a busy, knowledgeable, well-connected CAFM who has dedicated time specifically for you and your fellow candidates. As you aspire to attain your CAFM, your Office Hours Host is here to assist. 

In this session, Kate Vigneau, CAFM will:
• showcase her career journey and experiences
• teach a 10-minute insider lesson on one competency – Buesiness Management 
• discuss 4 practice questions (after you give them a try)
• share her favorite test taking pro-tip 
• engage in open dialogue to answer your questions
