BOMA Raleigh Durham

What BOMA Raleigh Durham does

BOMA Raleigh Durham Inc is a nonprofit professional trade association and local chapter of BOMA International, serving commercial real estate professionals in the Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina metropolitan area. Founded in 2002, the organization provides membership, education, networking, and recognition services to property owners, managers, leasing agents, asset managers, service providers, building engineers, emerging professionals, and students across commercial building types including office, industrial, medical, corporate, and mixed-use properties. As of the latest disclosure, it represents 240 individual members from 130 companies.

The association generates revenue primarily through tiered annual membership dues (Principal $600-$775, Allied $675-$775, Building Engineer $150, Student $100), a tiered Annual Sponsorship Program (Bronze $1,800 to Platinum $5,500 plus Engineering Series $1,000 per event), and event revenue from monthly luncheons, an annual golf tournament, clay shoot, fall event, holiday party, and TOBY Awards Banquet. Core offerings span five membership products, an Engineering Series education curriculum, an Emerging Professional mentorship program, a published Buyers Guide directory, and the TOBY Awards pipeline (local → regional SRC → international). The platform running the member website and mobile app is BRYNK, a third-party association management SaaS; there is no proprietary technology stack or AI capability.

The go-to-market is community-led: member acquisition relies on networking events, education, sponsorship visibility, and word-of-mouth within the local CRE market, with the Raleigh-Durham metro as the sole geographic footprint. Major national CRE firms including CBRE, JLL, Cushman & Wakefield, Hines, Highwoods Properties, Lincoln Property Company, Avison Young, Longfellow Real Estate Partners, and Trinity Partners participate as Principal members, alongside allied service providers such as Bland Landscaping, BrightView Landscape, Carolina Restoration Services, MG Capital Maintenance, and Roofwerks at the Platinum sponsorship tier.
