DEI's Active Year

DEI Committee Wraps Up Active Year, Looks to 2023

The BOMA SF DEI (Diversity, Equity and

Inclusion) Committee ends 2022 on a high note following an ambitious line-up of educational, social and volunteer events.

Scavenger Hunt and Networking

This fall’s Scavenger Hunt 2.0 was a tremendous success, with teams competing to gather clues, take on photo missions and accomplish video and trivia challenges all while learning more about DEI and making new connections. An after-hunt party followed the spirited competition. Thank you to all of our event sponsors: ABM, GSH Group, McNevin

Bay Area Cleaning

Specialists, Rubicon Point Partners, Township Building Services, and Vanbarton Group. Webinar Series Explores DEI

The committee’s Candid Conversations webinar series was a big hit this year. A recent program explored cultural awareness and belonging. In small groups, participants discussed the differences that define us— such as religion, style of dress and upbringing—with an emphasis on being our authentic selves and making others feel included in the workplace and at industry events. Thanks to moderator Victor Nunez, Business Development Manager for Turner Construction and to ABM, GSH Group, and McNevin Bay Area Cleaning Specialists for sponsoring. Scholarship Launch

Yet another milestone of 2022 was establishing the Akiba Davis-Everett Scholarship. This annual scholarship covers fees for a recipient to take the Foundations of Real Estate Management course. Jenna Garcia of

Cushman & Wakefield

was recently announced as the first recipient. A Look Ahead
