Networking
Networking is an important component of all BOMA events. Our luncheon programs,
community service projects, new member orientation meetings, real estate student
receptions, and committee work all provide opportunities for meaningful
networking. We also actively work to foster professional relationships among our
members through the strategies and events developed by our Service Providers
Council and our Special Events Committee.
Marketing
Our BOMA members annually
make more than $360 million in purchasing decisions for their companies. BOMA
offers the opportunities for both members and nonmembers to market their
products and services through the association, however members have several
unique advantages including the ability to participate in the organization and
therefore develop professional relationships. Our tradition of professional
etiquette maintains that members do not initiate sales-oriented conversations at
BOMA events, however, the interaction during meetings and association events can
provide the foundation for profitable relationships between members.
BOMA
provides the following opportunities to market to our members. Please contact
the BOMA office to learn which events are upcoming and open for sponsorships.
Luncheon sponsorships – Be the exclusive sponsor of one of our monthly luncheon
meetings where you will have a display table and be recognized from the podium,

Seminar
sponsorships – Usually several sponsorships at different levels are offered for
these bi-annual events.
Golf tournament, summer social, and holiday reception
sponsorships provide many opportunities throughout the year to gain recognition
by our members.

website. Reach nearly 700 decision-makers and readers with each ad.
Resource
Fair – Associate and Professional Members have the opportunity to exhibit their
products and services at this annual trade show, which is considered one of the
best trade shows in the industry in our region.
Following the 2006 Resource
Fair, BOMA’s then-President, Steve Herron from Zeller Realty emailed us to say,
“I could not have been more impressed with the level of excitement, energy,
professionalism, vendor participation and overall turnout from the BOMA
membership at this event. This was a huge success.” One of the exhibitors added,
“Best 3 hours I’ve ever spent at a trade show!” The excitement and participation
grows every year.
