BOMA’s partnership with BOMI International remains strong. Through educational offerings, BOMA members and non-members learn from senior professionals in the commercial real estate industry to work towards earning their RPA or FMA designations, or PAC or PMFP certifications. The next course, BOMI Law & Risk will take place the mornings of February 26th, March 3rd, 5th, 10th, 12th, 17th, 19th, 24th, 26th and 31st from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 a.m. This virtual course will be taught by Barry Familetto with Stetson Management & Development. For more information contact Courtney McHugh, cmchugh@gbreb.com.
The commercial real estate industry has a professional certification that provides early recognition for foundational knowledge and guides the next generation of property managers toward greater responsibility and success in their careers: The Certified Manager of Commercial Properties (CMCP). The CMCP is the only certification of its kind for early career commercial property managers – you may qualify with as little as one year’s experience. Learn more at https://www.creci.org/the-cmcp-advantage/.
