Advancing Education for CRE Professionals Carla Moule, Colliers International

Colliers International’s Carla Moule is a rising star in Georgia CRE. With six years in Atlanta commercial property management, she has enhanced her career with a combination of strong work ethic and industry educational opportunities.

Recently, Moule began her pursuit of a Building Owners and Managers Institute (BOMI) International RPA designation. She is one of 66 students to receive a BOMA Georgia Foundation scholarship since its launch in 2014.

“Because of the scholarship program, I was able to take another BOMI designation course and be one step closer to my RPA.”

-Carla Moule

Colliers International

The scholarship supplemented Moule’s educational budget and allowed her to attend an extra class in 2015. This opportunity put Moule one step closer to achieving her designation.

Advancing real estate education is a primary focus of the BOMA Georgia Foundation. A well-educated workforce is something the real estate industry needs to remain competitive, increase tenant and owner satisfaction and realize a profitable return on investment. Because of Foundation scholarships, professionals like Moule are enhancing their careers, and in turn, bringing more value to their buildings, owners and tenants.

Embedded Scholarships Increase Access, Save Money The “BANG” for your educational buck!

In 2015, anyone who registered for a SMT/SMA designation course, or who registered for the Budgeting and Accounting course for RPA candidates received a $500 embedded scholarship. This means that course costs were rolled back nearly 50 percent for these courses. The typical cost for a BOMA member to enroll in each of these five courses was $1,035 per course; but this year, that cost was just $535 per course for students.

This offer from the Foundation helped many companies like yours place their engineers and building managers on a career path that not only benefited their individual long-term success, but also the success of your company. For more details on the BOMA Georgia Foundation or to make a donation, please visit www.BOMAGeorgiaFoundation.org.
