BOMA Indianapolis

What BOMA Indianapolis does

BOMA Indianapolis (legally Building Owners and Managers Association of Indiana, Inc.) is a non-profit trade association headquartered at 10 West Market Street, Suite 2070, Indianapolis, Indiana. It serves as the Indiana regional affiliate of BOMA International, representing building owners, property managers, brokers, facilities managers, engineers, and allied service providers across the state's commercial real estate industry. The association operates a membership-based model with six tiers: Principal ($565-$1,135 per professional seat), Allied ($1,350 + $1,750 two-year sponsorship, currently waitlisted), Emerging Leaders under 35 ($250), State Member for those outside Indianapolis ($400), Civic/Non-Profit, and Student. Member benefits include advocacy at local, state, and national levels, professional development through BOMA designations (RPA, FMA, SMA/SMT), recognition via the TOBY Awards and BOMA 360 programs, and networking events such as the Back to School Golf Outing (200+ golfers) and the Fort Wayne expansion events.

The organization's technology stack is minimal and operational: Novi AMS (Association Management Software) powers the website, membership management, event registration, and member communications. Revenue is generated across four streams: recurring membership dues, event registrations and corporate sponsorships (24 active sponsors), educational course and designation program fees ($800-$1,040 per course), and PAC donations plus enhanced directory listings ($350). The GTM motion is community-led — driven by local events, educational programs, advocacy initiatives, and word-of-mouth referrals within the Indiana CRE industry. The association is led by Executive Director Sarah Kuester, CAE, and Marketing Manager Christian Condra, and is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. BOMA Indianapolis is not a technology-business and generates no AI or proprietary technical capability; its competitive position rests on community depth, brand affiliation, and credentialing programs rather than technology differentiation.
