About NASFA

The National Association of State Facilities Administrators (NASFA) is a professional organization whose mission is to provide leadership in the development and implementation of state facility administration practices. NASFA is the only association dedicated exclusively to the state facilities professional and the unique challenges they face. Our diverse members are responsible for the planning, development, operations and maintenance of state facilities. Members represent facilities professionals in the departments of administration, transportation, real estate, parks, corrections, human services, and colleges and universities. NASFA provides a direct forum for the state facilities administrator to interact directly with their peers across the country on all aspects of state facilities management. As managers of public funds, our State members have a fiduciary responsibility to use these funds wisely and often times they are looking for solutions and partnerships with the private sector. This network is a valuable resource for professionals with similar interests, restraints and desire to find solutions.
