2021 SCHOLARSHIP AWARD RECIPIENTS

Jackie Greely

Currently holding a sales role in the Silicon Valley, Jackie’s diverse professional background has led her to take an interest in Facilities Management. The world of facilities touches a plethora of departments and expertise. Having held positions in a variety of fields such as fitness, radio, and sales, Jackie is no stranger to understanding how different trades can come together and create a symbiotic relationship for a company.

“My involvement in IFMA (International Facility Management Association) Silicon Valley has allowed her to recognize the importance of personal and professional growth through networking.”

With this realization, Jackie was introduced to the wonderful organization of the ACP. Not only did ACP’s values align with hers, but their dedication to mentoring and networking with younger generations aligned perfectly with her future goals. With plans to gain a Facility Management Professional credential, Jackie will take that newfound knowledge and share it with aspiring college students. Becoming a mentor to those in the Asian American community is a goal of Jackie’s. She intends to introduce them to the facilities world and share how the ACP can aid them in their future endeavors.
