Thank you to all those who submitted toy box pictures for the contest. We enjoyed seeing the participation and we hope to see even more creativity this year!

What's Happening in Advocacy | |
BOMA Cal Visits BOMA/GLA
BOMA California recently paid a visit to BOMA Greater Los Angeles, engaging in a dynamic dialogue with the Government Affairs Committee. The discussion focused on the upcoming state legislative year and local members' critical role in influencing state-level policy decisions.
