Amid major disruptions to how office buildings are managed and operated, it was a treat to take an hour to celebrate companies and individuals at BOMA BC’s first virtual awards event.
The typical three-course meal and elaborate stage and lighting was replaced by an online Zoom Awards Happy Hour streamed live from the BOMA office. Staff were strategically placed in different areas of the office to abide by physical distancing. Fifteen breakout rooms gave people the opportunity to catch up with each other and meet new people.
“Now more than ever, we needed to recognize our members for their outstanding service and professionalism. Once we knew a traditional event was no longer an option, we started to think about how we could bring some lightness to a difficult time,” said Damian Stathonikos, President of BOMA BC. And in that vein, a comedian was hired to provide comedic relief for a 15-minute live set.
“We hope to have multiple local winners recognized at the national level. Whether at the virtual BOMEX conference this fall, or in-person in Vancouver next year, we are excited to see them compete nationally. Some may even move on to the international level. There are always things to look forward to, even in times of disruption.”
