The two associations have worked together on a recent facilities study, and have provided content at their respective annual conferences, one of several instances of assistance for each other’s educational initiatives. Several IFMA chapters and BOMA local associations have been cooperating on programs as well.
Both associations believe further cooperation will advance the interests of the built environment and commercial real estate.
In the coming year, each association will increase its participation at each other’s conferences, building on current participation levels. IFMA and BOMA staffs also will pursue a joint built environment issues forecasting project.
While specific collaborative strategies are expected to be announced in coming months, opportunities for joint educational program development, additional conference cooperation, advocacy efforts, research studies, and built environment forecasting exercises will be considered.
