Greater Buffalo BOMA's 2008 events: Hoping to repeat the success of 2007

Greater Buffalo BOMA presented its annual Faces of BOMA Awards at their annual Christmas Party held in early December. It was a huge success, and they are hoping to repeat that success for this year. The Greater Buffalo BOMA chapter is asking its members, as they move through the year, to keep an eye out for outstanding contributions to the area, the local economy, and to the property management industry from area developers, engineers, property managers, BOMA members and BOMA vendors. BOMA members can nominate those companies or individuals whom they feel have turned in an excellent performance for the year. The chapter wants to salute them! Cheer for them! Acknowledge their efforts and energy! But they cannot do it if they do not know about them. The chapter is encouraging its members to be its eyes and ears, and let them know about these candidates. Greater Buffalo BOMA would like to thank its new chairman, John Greene, of Uniland Development. Greene has taken over a large job from its previous chairman, Tina Coppins, and he has a good-sized task in front of him. Everyone helping out and keeping an eye out for nominees for the various categories will be a big help. Members and friends are advised to keep in mind the chapter's Annual Golf Outing. Chairman Barb Bauer is already hard at work, and golf invitations will be sent out soon. The event is slated for Monday, August 25 at the Arrowhead Golf Club. Be sure to choose your favorite item to sponsor, as they tend to fill up quickly for this event. And as a last reminder, the chapter will not have a trade show this year. BOMA is taking a year off, revamping and revising, and promising a better event, a better location, and many new exciting features to look forward to. They are planning it for early May, 2009, at a downtown venue with plenty of parking. So make plans to join the chapter for the BOMA Vendor Fair in May, 2009.
