The Marketing Committee plans, monitors and supervises the organizational marketing program to promote the awareness of the local organization and its objectives. In order to achieve these goals, the Marketing Committee coordinates with the Public Relations contractor to develop marketing plans, establish annual goals and a marketing budget for approval by the Board of Governors, and explore alternative opportunities with affiliated organizations. In addition the Marketing Committee assists other committees with the marketing of their programs such as helping the Professional Development Committee and the Networking and Community Affairs Committee.

The Membership Committee recruits new members and promotes active membership for the purpose of increasing BOMA's body of members and participation. The Membership Committee maintains a current "Potential Member Contact List," and consistent, but reasonable, communication with potential new members. In addition, the Membership Committee manages membership drives at the local and national level, provides coverage at the registration table for luncheons and events and makes follow-up telephone calls to individuals that have been sent information packets. After successfully increasing membership, the committee then coordinates quarterly New Member Orientation Breakfasts. These tasks require Membership Committee members to develop an understanding of the organization, it’s benefits and the membership fee structure to share with potential members. 

Committee Chair: Alex Gleim, G Brands and Alexis Berry, IMC Real Estate 

The TOBY committee solicits building entries for our local competition from BOMA Columbus members.  Property managers enter buildings that they believe embody the values and best practices of the industry.  The TOBY committee reviews and evaluates all building entries in a two-phase process, which consists of a building tour and management team interview. The Performance 360 program encourages property professionals to participate in the online assessment program, which evaluates properties in six major areas of building operations and management. Properties are evaluated in the following areas:

• Building operations and management
• Life safety/security/risk management
• Training and education
• Energy
• Environment/sustainability
• Tenant relations/community involvement
  
  

The TOBY Committee celebrates all the entries in a gala event typically held in December.  Local winners are announced and then encouraged to submit to their buildings to the regional competition the following March.  Winners in the regional competition go on to compete in the BOMA International competition in June.  BOMA Columbus has had several regional and international winners.
