The Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) focuses on representing the interests of the commercial real estate industry through effective advocacy, providing networking forums, and hosting educational opportunities. The local Jacksonville chapter, one of 91 throughout the United States, has more than 90 members consisting of commercial property managers, owners, and vendors who are dedicated to improving the commercial real estate market in north Florida.
The Membership Committee works to retain the present membership and encourage their participation within the BOMA Jacksonville chapter. The committee actively recruits prospective principal members from local property management firms and medical office building managers. The committee also identifies and solicits the membership of other companies who share a common interest with the members of the association.

The committee believes that now, more than ever, membership in BOMA is vital to your professional success and your company’s economic well-being.
Please be advised that BOMA International has instituted recommendations for local affiliates to use a 50/50 ratio of principal members to associate members. If the membership roster is not at a 50/50 ratio between principal members and associate members, a prospective associate’s application will be put on the membership waiting list until such time as the 50/50 ratio is met. If the prospective associate member wishes to bring in a principal member then the prospective associate will not be required to remain on the waiting list. The prospective associate will be allowed to submit their application to the Membership Committee for review and approval.
For additional information and current member requirements, please contact the Membership Chair, Jennifer Ragsdale, at 904.296-2020.
