Annual BOMA Benefit 2020 benefiting Bridge Over Troubled Waters

Boston, MA The Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) of Boston kicked off the New Year with four sold out events including the Ski Trip at Loon Mountain, Property Management Excellence Roundtable, Networking Nite in Burlington and most recently the Connect with BOMA Breakfast. BOMA has welcomed 80 new members since the new year and we’re looking forward to even more growth in 2020! 

The BOMA Benefit is back. This year, the benefit will be held from 5:30 - 8:30 p.m. at City Winery, 80 Beverly St. Last year, they restructured the benefit to better reflect BOMA and have the opportunity to raise more funds for their charitable partner, Bridge Over Troubled Waters. Join members and guests for an evening of industry networking, food and drink, raffle prizes and an exciting fundraising activity while supporting a great cause.

BOMA’s partnership with BOMI International remains strong.

The next course, BOMI Design, Operations & Maintenance of Building Systems, Part 1 will take place on March 9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th. The course will be instructed by Dave Thompson of Jamestown, L.P. and Mike Gill of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and will take place at the BOMA Boston offices.
