Frequently Asked Questions
Can I download a membership application on-line?
It's an online application process so there's no need to download it.
I am not certain if I am an Allied member or a Principal member.
Allied members are firms that provide services and products to the real estate industry, including but not limited to lawyers, consultants, accountants, designers, contractors and architects. Principal members are those who are property/facility/asset managers, developers or building engineers. Another way to look at the distinction is that Allied members perform tenant improvement design and construction, install a new roof, provide building maintenance and security, sell a product, etc.
What is the cost of membership?
Membership dues are determined on an annual basis and are based on individual members. Please see this page to review current membership rates.
Our membership rates include 8 luncheons. We pro-rate the dues by around 60% if you join in July, August or September and that includes 4 luncheons.
If you join in the months of October, November or December you will pay the annual fees (listed on the link above), so it is like getting 15 months of membership for the cost of 12, if you join in October.
All memberships expire December 31st. E-reminders will be sent around October. If you are unable to pay your annual membership fees by March 1, your membership will be suspended. Allied/Vendors, to re-join, must go on the waiting list.
I would like my building to join. How do you compute the membership dues?
Membership is based on individual members, not on square footage that you manage.
Is the membership for one person or for the company?
All memberships are at the individual level, not for the entire company.
How many people may I add to my membership and is there a cost for additional people? You can add as many as you like. Bear in mind that we have a reduced rate for additional members from your firm. We also have a waiting list for our Allied/vendor members.
My membership shows one person as being federated with BOMA International. What does that mean?
The federated member will be acknowledged as the representative for BOMA International. In addition to receiving BOMA GTB mailings, the federated representative will receive information at the national level from BOMA. The federated representative will be entitled to member pricing for BOMA International events and publications.
If I am a member of BOMA GTB is there a discount in joining other BOMA associations?
There are approximately 86 BOMA associations throughout the United States, Canada and Internationally. Each BOMA is a separate entity responsible for specific geographic regions. There is currently no discount provided for multiple BOMA memberships.
Why sponsor a BOMA GTB event?
Sponsorships provide an opportunity for a member to show brand support and demonstrate ongoing commitment to our industry and mission. Sponsorships highlight the sponsor's business, services and/or products to event attendees.
What benefits do sponsors receive?
Sponsors are recognized in the event's printed materials (if appropriate) and on the BOMA GTB website. Additional benefits are available based on the sponsorship level and may include logo placement on event signage at the sponsored event, the opportunity to distribute informational materials and discounted or waived registration fees.
How do I find out the various levels of sponsorships available and their costs?

Must I be a BOMA GTB member to sponsor or advertise with your association?
Yes, membership is a requirement to secure sponsorship.
As an event sponsor am I able to set up a table or distribute my company literature at the event?
