Building Owners and Managers Association Spokane

What Building Owners and Managers Association Spokane does

Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) Spokane is a non-profit, member-driven trade association serving commercial real estate professionals in the Spokane, Washington region. Founded locally in 1912 and federated with BOMA International (founded 1907), the organization represents over 100 member companies across three membership tiers: Principal (building owners, managers, and investors), Institutional (government and non-profit facility operators), and Associate (vendors, contractors, consultants, and service providers). Its value proposition centers on four pillars: legislative advocacy at local, state, and federal levels (underwritten by a $10 per member Industry Defense Fund and an optional $30 BOMA Washington PAC contribution); professional education delivered in partnership with BOMI International, including RPA/FMA designations and CMCP certification; networking through monthly luncheons, a golf tournament, a Lake Coeur d'Alene cruise, and a Capitol Connections PAC event; and industry recognition via the Local Building Excellence Awards, TOBY Awards, BOMA 360, and BOMA Best certifications. Annual dues are $1,380 for a first principal member and $1,080 for each additional principal member from the same company, with an additional tiered sponsorship program (Diamond, Platinum, Gold, Silver) underwriting operations.

Operationally, BOMA Spokane is governed by a ten-member volunteer board of directors that meets monthly and is supported by a small staff (1–10 employees) led by Executive Director Matt Ott. There is no proprietary technology product or platform; distribution is via the bomaspokane.org website, monthly in-person luncheons at the DoubleTree Hotel Spokane City Center, committee participation across eight standing committees, and member-only communications. The association is not publicly traded, has no external institutional investors, and has no funding rounds or M&A activity; capital flows exclusively from member dues, sponsorship fees, and event revenue. Distribution channels are entirely direct or sponsorship-driven, with no third-party resellers and no software/SaaS component. Leadership includes representatives from major Spokane commercial real estate firms such as Cowles Real Estate, Rockwood Property Management, Kiemle Hagood, Goodale & Barbieri, Black Realty Management, Hutton Settlement, National Maintenance Contractors, Mountain Restoration, and Haase Landscaping.
