BOMA Greater Minneapolis

What BOMA Greater Minneapolis does

BOMA Greater Minneapolis (legally Greater Minneapolis Building Owners & Managers Association) is a regional nonprofit trade association founded in 1904 that represents commercial real estate building owners, property managers, and building engineers in the Greater Minneapolis metropolitan area. The organization is a federated local chapter of BOMA International, headquartered at 50 South Sixth Street, Suite 1301, Minneapolis, MN, and is led by CEO & President Sarah Anderson with a small staff (1-10 employees).

Its service portfolio is organized around four pillars: (1) advocacy at city, county/regional, state, and federal levels; (2) professional education, including BOMI courses, RPA designations, and the BOMA New Professionals (BNP) program; (3) member networking through events such as an annual golf tournament, scholarship social, and ELC events; and (4) industry recognition via the TOBY (Outstanding Building of the Year), BOB (Best of BOMA), and BOMA360 performance assessment programs. Supporting programs include a Job Bank and Workforce Development platform with student candidate placement, internships, and job-shadow pipelines, a dedicated Engineers Association, member scholarships, and advertising/sponsorship opportunities for vendors.

Revenue is generated through three streams: annual membership dues from commercial real estate professionals, event registrations and associated sponsorships, and advertising/sponsorship placements on the website and at events (e.g., member meetings priced at $70 for members, $80 for non-members of member companies). The technology footprint is minimal — a GrowthZone member portal, job bank, and standard website/social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn) — with no disclosed AI/ML, APIs, or proprietary software products. The organization serves a distributed regional membership rather than a small number of anchor accounts, and growth or expansion signals beyond the Greater Minneapolis market are not evident.
