About BOMA of Greater Hartford Get connected with one of the most highly respected real estate organizations in the Greater Hartford Region. See why other property managers, facility managers, brokers, building contractors, and vendors want to be a part of the nation’s largest association networks specifically designed for real estate professionals. The BOMA Greater Hartford Chapter has grown from 10 members to over 150 since its inception in 1978. Members include building owners, developers, property management companies, major corporations, and fortune 500 companies. This well established and dynamic group of professionals offers its members access to seminars, educational opportunities, special real estate publications, special events, and the ability to meet other business professionals associated with the real estate industry. In December 1978, BOMA International recognized and accepted a local property management council. After two years of preparatory work the council became known as the Greater Hartford Chapter of BOMA International, the first chapter in New England. The Chapter grew from an initial 10 members to 163 members by the first quarter of 2004. In 1984 and 1986 the Chapter won the prestigious Diamond Award for strong growth. The initial membership was focused in Hartford. However, the Chapter now encompasses an area from Springfield, Massachusetts to New Haven, Connecticut. Members of the Greater Hartford Chapter have been actively involved in BOMA International from the beginning and are well represented in the Middle Atlantic Conference, BOMA, BOMI, ROC and SORPA. Our industry is evolving and falling under a more regulatory environment. Locally, we have lobbied our legislators on telecommunications issues, private property rights and electric deregulation. While some gains have been realized, many battles lie ahead. An enthusiastic and active membership has helped the BOMA Greater Hartford offer a well rounded program and activities schedule. Informative monthly meetings are supplemented with the summer Gus Johnson Golf Outing, Allied activities and the year-end holiday social. |
