Help Make the Office Sector’s Best Benchmarking Resource Even Better

Right now, commercial real estate professionals across the industry are submitting income and expense data from their office buildings to BOMA International’s Office Experience Exchange Report (Office EER). Why? Because it’s fast, it’s simple and, most importantly, it helps make the industry’s best benchmarking resource for the office sector even better—and that benefits everyone!

 

On Monday February 8, the International Code Council will open the online voting process to the Governmental Members. All validated voters will be given two weeks to review the code changes and vote in support or opposition to the actions taken at the Public Comment Hearings held earlier this month.

To assist these voting members in understanding the impacts these proposed changes could have on the commercial real estate industry, BOMA has developed the attached Online Voting Guide for voters to consider while casting their votes.

If you can, please review the Online Voting Guide. If you have comments, please contact the BOMA Office at 503-228-9214.
