Employee Brings BOMA Pride Back to BRES

and the BOMA Board President

Each year, BOMA (Building Owners and Managers Association) chapters around the nation choose the recipients of their TOBY (The Outstanding Building of the Year) award. Those selected compete at the regional and national level to be the best of the best in commercial buildings. The TOBY awards recognize quality and innovation in commercial real estate buildings. Last year, Block Real Estate Services (BRES) was proud to have our own Lisa Randall win the 2012 TOBY award for the work on the Renner Corporate Center office building in Lenexa, Kansas. See the article in Midwest Real Estate Journal's blog.

Randall has been recognized as as a top individual in the BOMA / CRE community and as a result it has been requested she judge prestigious buildings all over the country for this year's 2013 International TOBY Awards.

The opportunities that have presented themselves from this award is a testament to the importance of being involved with organizations and communities that add value to your business. This involvement with BOMA has brought Lisa Randall and BRES positive press and recognition in addition to opening up new doors for Lisa to further network and gain leadership in the international BOMA organization. So, next time that an organization like BOMA or CCIM are asking for applicants for an award, submit your stuff! You never know if your name could be the next one in the headline of a company success story.
