Member Testimonial

"I first became a BOMA/GLA member back in 2016, and I have to say, it has been an absolutely incredible journey. Being part of the BOMA community has not only expanded my knowledge of the commercial real estate (CRE) industry, but it has also enriched my life in ways I never anticipated.

One of the most valuable aspects of my BOMA membership has been the opportunity to connect with a diverse group of mentors and friends who have played a pivotal role in guiding me through important decisions in my professional life. These individuals have shared their wisdom and expertise, and I am forever grateful for their support.

My confidence in my CRE career continues to soar, and I owe a significant portion of that to BOMA. The resources, connections, and experiences I have gained through the association have propelled me forward and empowered me to reach new heights."
