Dear BOMA Silicon Valley Members,

It has been a privilege to serve as your BOMA SV President in 2025. Representing Silicon Valley’s 250+ members on the international stage in Palm Springs, Los Angeles, and Boston is an experience I will always cherish.  

Locally, we achieved so much together:

• Expanded community service, including meal packing at Sacred Heart Community Service
• Built a 40+ member team and raised over $2K for breast cancer research
• Donated more than $16K to Camp Heart & Hands and the Humane Society
• Welcomed new members through Coffee & Connect events
• Raised $3,375 to support BOMA California’s PAC to support advocacy efforts
• Drafted our 3-year strategic plan for continued growth

What makes BOMA Silicon Valley special is the sense of family and community. Thank you for your support, volunteerism, and commitment to making our industry stronger.

A few heartfelt thank-yous:

• To our industry partners, sponsors, and vendors—your contributions make everything possible
• To Matthew and Kali, the engine behind BOMA SV
• To my Ten Almaden team—Jillian, Kathy, Scott, and Eddie—for holding down the fort
• And to everyone I’ve met across markets—your insights and friendship mean so much

If you want to make an impact and give back, please consider joining one of our many committees.

As we look ahead to 2026, let’s keep building on this momentum—innovating, connecting, and leading together. The opportunities are endless when we work together as a community. I look forward to a great 2026 under Lydia’s leadership.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful holiday season.  

Sean Yamagiwa

President
