Dear BOMA Member:

Denver Metro BOMA will recognize property management excellence at the annual

TOBY Awards Celebration on Thursday, November 30, 2017 at the DCPA Seawell Grand

Ballroom.

The TOBY Awards competition consists of three levels, beginning at the BOMA local

level. Winning entries may advance from the local to the regional level and, finally,

regional winners advance to the international level. The winners of the International TOBY

Awards Competition will be announced at the BOMA International Conference in

Nashville, TN, June 27, 2017.

Imagine your peers cheering and the excitement of walking towards the awards podium

when your winning team accepts the 2017 TOBY! Be part of the celebration this year –

enter your building. Winners receive press coverage, recognition in trade publications,

business journals and newspapers! Can we count on your entry?

Entering your building is easier than you think. Entries fall into fifteen categories based

upon building types or square footage. There is also the Earth Award category that

recognizes buildings with enhanced sustainability programs.

Local entries need to only provide a Property Information Guide for the judges’ use at the

onsite inspection and an application with entry fee. Judging takes place on a flexible

schedule within a two-week time period—September 11th through September 22nd. The

deadline for entering your building is Friday, August 11, 2017.

Local judging criteria continue to emphasize Management Excellence, meaning that all

buildings are valued for their total management operations and not only for enhanced

aesthetics. What’s exciting about winning is that you and your team are recognized at local,

regional and international levels. What an honor!

We look forward to having your building enter the Denver Metro BOMA TOBY Awards

Program this year. Please feel free to contact the BOMA office with any questions. Good

luck!

Sincerely,

John Whitlock, RPA
