A Great Start for BOMA in 2023
By Julie Taylor, CAE, Executive Director, BOMA Oakland/East Bay
We’re off to a great start! 2023 began with cautious optimism about staying on the course to hold all our events.

While COVID hasn’t stopped us, Mother Nature has made everyone’s jobs a bit harder and a lot busier. As a BOMA OEB member, you have access to service providers who can help you solve challenges that may be impacting you. Our Associate Members were there for the industry during COVID, and they are there for you now.
We’ve held two luncheons: the soldout 2023 State of the CRE Market in January and February’s BID BOMA luncheon. February also included the first session of our Backpack to Briefcase series on Professional Development and the kick-off of the 2023 Leadership Academy.
At our BID BOMA luncheon, robust discussions with building and associate members included bidding, RFPs and the importance of building relationships. Our online learning center has a summary of tips and ideas that were shared during the event. Be sure to check out and search the online member directory to find members.
Both of these resources are available 24/7/365. (See https://www.bomaoeb.org/bomaoeblearningcenter and some takeaways on the next page.)
Congratulations to our 2023 TOBY Winner 1111 Broadway, managed by Swift Partners, and our Outstanding Member of the Year winners for 2022. These awards were given out at the March Madness Mixer. We’re highlighting more about our winners in this issue. (See the front page and pages 4-5.)
Get your clubs ready for our annual Walter Finch Spring Golf Tournament. We’re excited to host it on May 1 at Monarch Bay Golf Club located on the San Francisco Bay in San Leandro. This year’s theme — Decades — will give you a fun way to connect with our sponsors. Be sure to sign up, as this event sells out fast!
It’s been fun to see everyone at our events so far. We’ve had a lot of new faces, too! Our workgroups have a number of great events coming your way. Please reach out if you would like to join a workgroup. It’s a great way to network while learning more about our industry. We can help you identify a workgroup that fits your interests.
Watch your email and follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn for the latest news and event updates. I look forward to seeing you at an event soon!
