Jason E. Callis, CFM, SFP, LSSGB is Director of Property Operations and Facilities at Conrad Indianapolis, a Past President of the IFMA Indianapolis Chapter, and he currently serves on the IFMA Global Board of Directors as Chair of the Government Affairs Committee where he is passionate about creating environments where organizations and people thrive. Mike Petrusky asks Jason about his career experiences and they discuss investing in facilities and understanding the consequences of increasing deferred maintenance. Jason believes that A.I. can help in decision making to reach our sustainability goals, but reminds us that it's important to understand the data it provides. The future role of facility managers will be influenced by the need to focus on deferred maintenance backlog and the quality of goods purchased during the pandemic and Jason shares how IFMA can provide valuable resources for your FM journey as you seek to be an Asset Champion in the future of the built environment!
