I'm excited to share some significant updates with you this month, highlighting recent developments in our industry and association.
In case you missed it, BOMA International and BOMI International have merged, aligning management and governance structures to enhance workforce development and education programs. BOMI International will now function as BOMA International’s nonprofit arm, in addition to the BOMA Foundation.
In addition to being part of the BOMA International Federation, we are also proud to be a part of BOMA California, who represents all eight metropolitan BOMA local associations in the state. BOMA California serves as our legislative advocate in Sacramento, addressing member concerns at the statewide level.
This year, BOMA Cal is sponsoring two bills, detailed in the CRE Goes on Offense article below. As we continue tackling issues of importance to our members, please remember that your engagement in grassroots advocacy is essential as we work towards positive legislative outcomes. Together, we can shape policies that benefit our industry and communities.
Through our affiliation with BOMA Cal, we're also active members of CBPA, the California Business Properties Association. CBPA is the designated legislative advocate for ICSC, the California Chapters of the Commercial Real Estate Development Association (NAIOP), the Building Owners and Managers Association of California (BOMA Cal), the Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA), the Association of Commercial Real Estate – Northern and Southern California (ACRE), and AIR CRE. Visit https://cbpa.com to learn more and get involved.
Every other year, CBPA honors the industry’s best at the Commercial Real Estate Industry Awards Dinner. This is an excellent opportunity to recognize excellence within the industry and celebrate the achievements of your peers. Submit your nominations before April 30, 2024.
As a reminder, your involvement in our association is crucial. Let's continue working together to drive positive change and ensure the ongoing success of our industry.
