A Day with Heroes - Giving Back at Hope for Firefighters!
In June, Downtown Los Angeles came alive for the 27th annual Hope for Firefighters event! This celebration offered Angelenos a unique chance to meet our city's bravest heroes, eat delicious food, join in thrilling competitions, and make an impact on the community. Our members proudly supported this heartwarming fundraiser, benefiting the Los Angeles Firemen’s Relief Association’s Widows, Orphans & Disabled Firemen’s Fund.

From Networking to Success: Shane Caswell's Impactful Journey with BOMA/GLA
"BOMA/GLA is a terrific organization of property management professionals. We are honored to be a part of this organization and look forward to supporting BOMA/GLA members at upcoming events.
CERTIFIED Recycling • Waste Solutions currently provides consulting and management of waste services for many properties of BOMA/GLA members. We can assist many BOMA members by providing a thorough review of the property waste streams, developing an education program for the property to meet diversion requirements mandated by the state, and evaluating current service levels and billing.
The BOMA/GLA events we have participated in thus far have been excellent, such as the Reverse Trade Show and the 2024 Spring Golf Tournament.
The BOMA/GLA staff has provided solid support in onboarding us as a new member, and we look forward to participating in both events and committees in the coming months."

Voters Denied Opportunity to Vote on TPA in November
In a deeply disappointing decision, the California Supreme Court removed the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act (TPA) from the November ballot. The decision raises the stakes for the Newcastle lawsuit against Measure ULA as our options for invalidating LA’s transfer tax narrows.
The court ruled that TPA would cause too extensive a change in how the government works and so amounted to a “constitutional revision” rather than an amendment. And so, voters could not be the ones to place the measure on the ballot.
