Getting to Know George Meyer, General Manager, Morlin Asset Management, LP

George Meyer has been a dedicated BOMA/GLA member for more than three decades. The association’s commitment to advocacy, education, and networking drew him in. Through his involvement with BOMA/GLA, George has been able to meet new people, expanded his CRE network, and uncovered a wealth of professional opportunities.

George attributes his lifelong commitment of service to the guidance he received from his mentors. He particularly emphasizes his mentor Frank Lloyd Wright's outstanding accomplishments. Wright had a vision that was adaptable and inspirational, encouraging others to think creatively and outside the box. George is the current treasurer of the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy in Chicago, a group dedicated to the preservation of all Wright buildings.

George enjoys touring Wright's many buildings because of his admiration for Wright's architectural achievements.  



George has seen the world, but Napili Shores on Maui remains his favorite vacation spot. 

Member Testimonial

A note to BOMA/GLA Members…

“Being new to the security industry and new to BOMA/GLA, I have to say joining has been such a wonderful experience, from the moment I reached out on how to become a member. The BOMA/GLA team has been such a great guide in understanding how to fully get the most out of being a member. Of all the organizations I have belonged to in the past, this has been the best experience. Our VP of Sales is from the Bay Area and was able to attend the recent BOMA by the Sea event while she was in town. She was so impressed with the organization in LA. She is part of other BOMA chapters in the western region, but she said by far the LA market is the best." 

-Tom Verdugo, Business Development Manager, GardaWorld Security

Amplifying Your Voice 

The BizFed Freshman Policymakers Reception provided an opportunity for our Advocacy Team to connect with newly elected policymakers throughout the county. We had the honor of introducing BOMA/GLA to these officials while addressing the issues impacting our members. BOMA/GLA’s participation with allied organizations, such as BizFed, amplifies the reach of our voice and creates additional platforms to engage elected officials. 

Decision 2024

The BOMA/GLA PAC is working hard to prepare for the 2024 election cycle. There are many open and competitive seats at the local and state level, in addition to a major fight over the Taxpayer Protection Act.  

The results of these elections will impact your building and your community. As we saw with our recent Operating Benchmark Report, taxes, insurance, and utilities are the costliest building expenses across the board and are the most directly impacted by decisions made by voters and elected officials.  

Help our PAC help you and support our advocacy efforts! To learn more about how you can participate, email our Advocacy Team.
