Our Commitment
Our Mission Statement
The Mid-Hudson Chapter of the NYSSFA commits to be leaders in maintaining the highest standards of a safe and healthy learning environment. We commit to support educational excellence through the prudent management of resources.
A Commitment to Being Our Very Best
As Chapter Members, we always have, and will continue to improve our professsional skills. We also work daily to support and elevate our teams so they can provide the very best service and daily support that our schools expect from us. As experienced professionals on the front-line at our schools, this is something that we believe in and strive to deliver every day!
Much more than four walls, a roof and a whiteboard, today’s school buildings and campuses are extremely complicated — as is the job of maintaining them. As a result, today’s directors of school facilities have myriad responsibilities requiring them to know engineering and architecture, health and safety, education, finance and human resource management.

The New York State School Facilities Association (NYSSFA) serves as a voice for more than 600 Directors of School Facilities, Facilities Managers, Head Custodians, Health and Safety Coordinators, and other key school facilities personnel. The Association provides its members with professional development opportunities, legal advice, facilities resources, education and training and more.
The Mid-Hudson Chapter represents area members and our website is here to provide the latest information on training and education information, upcoming events, a directory of our members, and resources for our partners and vendors.
