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 Managing the Organization will take place Wednesday and Friday afternoons of August 18^th, 20^th, 25^th, 27^th, September 1^st, 8^th, 12^th, 15^th, 17^th and 22^nd from 2:00 – 5:00 p.m. This virtual course will be taught by Gerry McGonagle with ATI Restoration.

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.
