Nominate an Outstanding Member for the BOMA Southwest Regional Conference

Posted By: Laura M. Diaz Awards & Recognition,

Each year, the BOMA Southwest Regional Conference recognizes one exceptional individual whose dedication, leadership, and service have made a meaningful impact on the commercial real estate profession and the BOMA community. The Outstanding Member of the Year Award celebrates members who go above and beyond — strengthening their local association, advancing the industry, and serving their communities with distinction.


Now is your opportunity to shine a spotlight on someone who embodies the very best of BOMA.


Why Submit a Nomination?


Outstanding members often work behind the scenes — chairing committees, mentoring colleagues, advocating for the industry, pursuing professional development, and contributing to their communities. This award ensures their contributions are recognized at the regional level.

If you know a colleague, volunteer leader, or industry professional who exemplifies BOMA’s mission, we strongly encourage you to submit a nomination.
