2 Community Engagement is Relationship Building by Glenn Good, RPA, FMA, CPM, LEED® GA, BOMI–HP BOMA SF President and General Manager, Brookfield Now more than ever, taking an active role in the communities where we work and live is of great importance. Why? People are beginning to re-enter the work environment after COVID shut down most of the world for the last two years. Major decisions are now being made about quality-of-life issues that impact safety, health, taxes and homelessness. These decisions are occurring at all levels of government, and they directly affect our industry and our livelihoods. If we don’t advocate for positions that impact us, our livelihoods will be negatively affected. You can guarantee that if we’re not advocating, someone else is and most likely it’s not favorable to commercial real estate. You might ask, how will I find the time to take an active role in my community with the demands of work and family? And what if I don’t like politics? These are fair questions. Community involvement makes a difference in a number of ways. Here are a just a few examples: s Participating in a local charity, such as AIDS Walk San Francisco
or a cause that’s important to you. Or volunteering at a local food bank, animal shelter or community garden. s Attending and participating in a town hall or Board of
Supervisors meeting. s Attending and participating in school board meetings. s Registering to vote and voting in elections. s Supporting a candidate whose views you endorse by
volunteering to help with a campaign. s Actively taking part in the work of BOMA San Francisco’s
committees that monitor and influence public policy. (Continued on page 17) Thank you to Tai Vierra from Kilroy. Tai enjoys photographing architectural and city scenes and took the photos of the San Francisco skyline used in this issue of BOMA Views.
