How to Join 

The Association attempts to maintain a balanced ratio of Regular members, consisting of Property Managers, Engineers and Owners, and Allied members such as vendors, contractors, suppliers, etc. Membership approval for Allied members may be delayed if the preferred ratio is not being met. Allied members may bypass the ‘waiting list’ by joining with a Property Manager, Assistant Property Manager, Building Engineer or Building Owner.  They must work full time for a property management firm that manages office, industrial, retail, government or medical office buildings in our charter area of Hillsborough, Polk, Pasco and/or Pinellas Counties.

DETAILS ABOUT WAITING LIST

Thank you for your interest in BOMA Greater Tampa Bay (GTB)!  Our charter area is Hillsborough, Pinellas, Polk and Pasco.

 And there is a waiting list to join for anyone who is not a Property Manager.  The list is so long that it could take a few years (seriously) to get the call to join OR here’s a way to join sooner.

 Vendor/Service Providers:

There is a waiting list to keep our ratio of property managers and service providers (vendors) 50/50. Membership is for one person in your firm, not the entire company.

If you can find a non-member, commercial office, industrial or retail property manager to join at the same time, you can avoid the waiting list. Ask your commercial property manager clients if they know about BOMA and have them call the BOMA office (813) 443-5595 if they are interested. If they join, you can too. (Remember that BOMA does not support residential managers ie: HOA, Country Clubs, apartments, condos ⦠those are residential)

If you have someone in mind, please email me their name, company name and company website address so I can pre-qualify them.
