BOMA/Suburban Chicago exists
to serve real estate professionals working in the commercial
real estate industry through effective leadership, advocacy,
education, professional development, and the analysis of
information affecting the industry today and in the future.
The Building Owners and
Managers Association of Suburban Chicago has served the
commercial office industry for over thirty-six years. Founded in
December 1970, BOMA/Suburban Chicago actively and
responsibly represents and promotes the interests of the
industry through effective leadership and advocacy; through
the collection, analysis and dissemination of information;
and through professional development.
BOMA/Suburban Chicago
represents over sixty-three million square feet of office
space in commercial office buildings, government buildings,
medical buildings and corporate headquarters located in
Suburban Cook, DuPage, Kane and Lake Counties, as well as
Rockford, Illinois and Merrillville, Indiana. Open
communication is fostered between the Association and its
members, and those who are having an effect on the industry,
both professionally and legislatively.
BOMA/Suburban Chicago
sponsors bimonthly Member Luncheon programs, classes
and seminars, a weekly email update, a bimonthly newsletter, and a quarterly
magazine, all designed to help members be better
professionals. Social events also give members an
opportunity to network and get to know each other better.
Bimonthly breakfasts are held for
member-building engineers, along with bimonthly program
lunches for member-property management assistants, as well.
The Association is governed
by a volunteer Board of Directors elected by the voting
membership. Standing and Special Committees work with the
Board to accomplish its goals. Members are invited to
participate on these committees.
A full-time office staff is
available to assist members on a day-to-day basis:
BOMA/Suburban Chicago

database giving you access to the experience and
knowledge of your peers in the industry;
