"What the new year brings to you will depend a great deal on what you bring to the new year." Vern McClellan

Your 2021 Board of Directors held a virtual retreat last week to strategically plan what we can bring to BOMA in this new year, keeping focus on our ultimate goal to fulfill the following:

"It is the mission of BOMA Greater Charlotte to provide education, information, advocacy and fellowship for our members"

And although 2021 may not be starting off the way we may have hoped 6 months ago, we are committed to making the best of it! Some of our initiatives will include:

• Board members as liaisons for our Committee Chairs to collaborate and provide support in executing each committees' goals.
• Revamping our virtual programming to provide valuable and informational sessions until the health crisis is resolved.
• A commitment to providing BOMI courses towards industry designations.
• Planning 2021 events that tentatively includes holding all of our annual signature events in the last 2 quarters of the year including the Golf Tournament in August, Annual Membership Meeting in Charleston in September, and Clay Shoot in October.
• A renewed focus on advocacy at a local and state level.

• An exciting speaker and topic for our February virtual luncheon!
• FREE registration for both the BOMA International Winter Business Conference and the BOMA Southern Region Conference. If you haven't been able to attend these in the past due to the expense, this is the perfect time to do so.
• Community Outreach events Bright Blessings, a new organization for us, and Classroom Central, a longtime community partner.
