The TOBY & Industry Awards recognize the best and brightest in property management, building operations and service in the commercial real estate industry. There are 17 categories for The Outstanding Building of the Year (TOBY) Awards, and 10 categories for the Industry Awards. Since the TOBYs are nationally recognized, the local winners move onto the regional competition, and hopefully, the international competition.
If you are interested in submitting your building for a TOBY Award, the BOMA Boston TOBY & Industry Awards website is where you can review all of the call for entries and category requirements, detailed information about the awards process and more. If you plan to enter a building this year, please notify BOMA Boston by emailing Kayla Burmeister, kburmeister@gbreb.com, at your earliest convenience.
BOMA Boston encourages all CRE professionals to consider nominating a deserving colleague for an Industry Award. The BOMA Boston TOBY Website, www.bomabostontoby.com, has all the information on the submissions process as well as the pre-recorded TOBY Tutorial and BOMA360 informational webinar.
BOMA Boston and BOMA International are both continuously updating their websites with updates and resources surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.
