BOMA Centennial Celebration
Celebrating Commercial Real Estate 1907-2007
The year 2007 marks an astounding achievement for BOMA International—our centennial. Much has been accomplished over the last century to create, nurture and develop our industry and those who have made it their chosen profession. From the original founders, to the myriad of officers, committee members, volunteers and staff who have selflessly offered their time, resources and guidance over the last 100 years to help the industry progress, thrive, meet new challenges and survive…it has been a tremendous, ongoing group effort. This celebration is about honoring the men and women, past and present, who have put their hearts and souls into keeping BOMA alive, moving it forward and making it a vital force in the commercial real estate industry. |
