Boston, MA On July 10, over 270 golfers participated in this year’s BOMA Golf Cup Tournament at Pine Hills Country Club in Plymouth. Tournament participants enjoyed a picture-perfect day of golf with great food, networking, and prizes. Additionally, there were two hospitality tents sponsored by Pierce Property Services and United Services of America. Also featured in this year’s tournament was a hole-in-one contest, which allowed guests the chance to win a brand new BMW worth more than $40,000. At the conclusion of the tournament, a large crowd gathered around the clubhouse putting green for a chance to win a prize in this year’s putting contest. The tournament, sponsored by C&W Services, is one of BOMA’s signature events and a must-attend event!

According to BOMA Boston, the 2017 BOMA TOBY & Industry Awards Call for Entries are now open! Each year, the TOBY & Industry Awards recognize industry excellence in property management, building operations, and service. There are 17 categories for The Outstanding Building of the Year (TOBY) awards, and nine categories for the Industry Awards. Since the TOBYs are a nationally recognized award, the local winners move onto a regional competition, and hopefully international competition.
