MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

President's Message: Honoring Our Past, Building Our Future


Last month, I had the pleasure of hosting our annual Spring Past Chairmen’s Council Dinner, featured on this issue’s cover. This group of dedicated past leaders continues to be an essential part of BOMA/GLA’s strength and success.


Beyond offering valuable institutional knowledge, the Past Chairmen’s Council plays an active role in shaping our future. They serve as the Nominating Committee for our Board and oversee our Industry Defense Fund (IDF) - a critical resource that allows us to act quickly when legislative or regulatory threats arise. The IDF ensures we have the financial means to protect and advocate for commercial real estate across our region.


Thank you to our Past Chairmen for your continued commitment to the good of this association.


Looking ahead, I hope to see many of you at the BOMA International Conference & Expo in Boston later this month. If you’re still deciding, there’s still time to register! Beyond the sessions, it’s a great opportunity to connect with industry peers from across the country and show support as we cheer on our members who are up for an International TOBY Award on Tuesday night, July 1. Let’s show up and represent Greater LA!


While at the conference, don’t miss our West Coast-style Happy Hour on Monday, June 30 from 4–6 PM, open to all BOMA California members - that includes anyone who belongs to a local BOMA association in California (like BOMA/GLA, BOMA San Francisco, BOMA San Diego, and others). Let’s bring some Golden State energy to the East Coast while connecting with peers from across the state. Food, drinks, and good vibes are on us! Register here on the BOMA Orange County website.


Finally, congratulations to South Bay II and Century Plaza Towers on earning the BOMA 360 designation a mark of excellence in building operations, energy, and tenant service. Click here to learn more about BOMA 360.



Looking forward to celebrating with many of you in Boston!


~ Michele Ware

Community Corner

BXP in Action: Supporting First Responders and Displaced Schools


BXP is proud to highlight recent community efforts at Santa Monica Business Park (SMBP) and Colorado Center, reflecting our commitment to partnership, responsiveness, and care.


During the recent LA-area wildfires, SMBP hosted 440 firefighters and 145 emergency vehicles from Oregon and Utah. With the support of our clients, we provided essential accommodations and resources. Special thanks to Ruben Miranda, SMBP’s Director of Security & Fire Life Safety, whose leadership and dedication were instrumental in coordinating on-site efforts.


In the same spirit, SMBP and Colorado Center welcomed displaced students from Seven Arrows School and Village School. BXP partnered with clients and found creative ways to transform office space into dynamic learning environments for these schools. Their presence brought new energy to our campuses and united our community in support of local families.


BXP remains committed to being a responsive and engaged partner throughout Los  Angeles, continuing to support its clients, neighbors, and the greater community.

Rising Stars & Emerging Leaders Give Back at the LA Regional Food Bank


Earlier this month, a dedicated group of volunteers, including many of our Rising Stars and Emerging Leaders, spent the morning at the LA Regional Food Bank, assembling food kits for individuals and families facing food insecurity across Los Angeles County.


Through teamwork, the group made a tangible impact and the final stats proved just how much can be accomplished in a few short hours.


A huge thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this volunteer day a success.

When Community Matters Most


BOMA/GLA was honored to support members impacted by this year’s devastating fires. Our efforts were divided into two phases. First, essential supplies were provided to those in immediate need. Then, hundreds of gift cards - donated by our incredible members, partners, and friends - were distributed to help ease the recovery process.


This week, four recipients received that support in a heartfelt moment that reminded us just how strong our community is when we come together.


To our task force, donors, and supporters: thank you. Your generosity made a real difference.
