Higher Education Estates Association Forum
Higher Education Estates Association Forum (HEEAF):
First convened in February 2004, the Higher Education Estates Assocation Forum consists of the following organisations having a remit associated with Estates and Facilities Management in higher education:
Association of University Chief Security Officers (AUCSO)
Association of University Directors of Estates (AUDE)
Association of University Engineers (AUE)
Association of University Procurement Officers (AUPO)

The group meets twice a year. Constituent organisations nominate up to two members to attend, normally the Chairperson, plus one other. HEEAF was set up for the following purposes:
- to explore the potential advantages of related groups co-ordinating their activities to achieve maximum effect
- to increase efficiency
- to pool effort on issues affecting more than one group
- to promote better communication between sector Associations with strategic remit
- to facilitate upward dissemination of issues of concern
- to improve profile and image for all the groups
- to promote co-operation to meet the major challenges facing the sector.
HEEAF can be contacted via the AUDE Executive Officer, e-mail: executiveofficer@essex.ac.uk
