Emerging Professionals Committee Kicks Off 2023

This year has been off to a great start for the Emerging Professionals Committee. “To start, we were happy to bring back in-person meetings at the BOMA San Francisco office for the first time since 2019,” says Committee Chair Brandon Lee, JLL “Our well-attended meetings have been very productive and engaging. We have a great group of both seasoned and new members that are excited to learn more about the industry and network with colleagues.”

Our first event of the year, the EP Kickoff Mixer, was a tremendous success and attended by over 100 people! Once again, thank you to our sponsors: BluSky Restoration Contractors, Township Building Services, and Western Specialty Contractors Also, a very special thank you to 101 Second Street, Inc. and Hines for hosting us at their beautiful 101 Second Street Atrium. It was such a joy seeing so many colleagues, new and old, making connections.

We are excited to announce that March will feature two of our signature events, starting with a Tour and Toast at 1455 Market Street, courtesy of Hudson Pacific Properties. At the end of the month, we will be hosting a Career Success Workshop where EPs will learn about the different services that are offered by our associate members. We will have a panel with representatives from various fields (e.g., construction, water treatment, restoration, etc.) so that the newer EPs can increase their industry knowledge, and our more seasoned EPs can receive a refresher. It also allows our members to showcase their services to a whole new demographic!

“That’s a quick snapshot for our busy Emerging Professionals Committee in the first quarter of 2023,” says Lee. “I am so excited to see what’s in store for us for the rest of the year. It’s a privilege and honor to be leading such an enthusiastic and collaborative group this year!”
