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 Environmental Health & Safety Issues will take place Wednesday and Friday mornings of September 29th, October 1st, 6th, 8th, 13th, 15th, 20th, 22nd, 27th, 29th

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.
