通过支持工作场所多元化来加强商业地产行业
博马/十大网赌靠谱网址平台
才能在3000亿美元的商业地产行业取得成功, 专业人员必须依靠他们广泛和多样化的技能. Managing an office building or a portfolio encompass a uniquely wide range of professional specialties that involve tenant relations, 预算, 安全措施, 应急准备等等. Given the expansive nature of the industry and the diverse skills CRE professionals use on an everyday basis, we must ask ourselves how racial and ethnic barriers to advancement in the industry still persist.
博马/十大网赌靠谱网址平台 has been addressing and tackling this issue head-on since 1994 when the first (and only) BOMA local Diversity Committee was formed. A two-pronged initiative was adopted in 2005 that focuses on building diversity within Chicago’s CRE industry – (1) the 雷金纳德L. 奥利包容与拓展奖学金 (2) 年度多元化庆典. 这一举措呼应了博马/十大网赌靠谱网址平台的多元化愿景, 哪个州, “We envision an industry that in spirit and in practice promotes diversity and is comprised of professionals that mirror the community that we serve.”
委员会(现更名为多样性委员会) & 企业社会责任委员会) worked together to find a way to help educate and mentor groups historically underrepresented in the building industry. 结果是一项以雷吉·奥利命名的奖学金, a devoted 博马/十大网赌靠谱网址平台 member who served as the Chair of the Diversity Committee for more than 10 years. The scholarship is awarded to a rising star in the industry who hails from a diverse background. Valued at $10,000, the scholarship pays for the recipient to achieve the 不动产管理员(RPA)称号. Each recipient is recognized at the 年度多元化庆典 and is also connected with a seasoned industry mentor.

保罗rad, Property Manager at the Monroe Building and Vice Chair of the Diversity & 企业社会责任委员会, 在奖学金最初成立时担任委员会成员. Rades remembers when the Diversity Committee first asked Reggie Ollie if 博马/十大网赌靠谱网址平台 could name the scholarship after him. 据雷德斯说，奥利说他很荣幸. Ollie’s only request was that 博马/十大网赌靠谱网址平台 uphold his family’s integrity while always supporting the scholarship’s mission to keep diversity alive in the CRE industry.
九年后，博马/十大网赌靠谱网址平台的多元化使命正在蓬勃发展. 多元化的成员 & 企业社会责任委员会 are currently in the midst of a call-to-action campaign to solicit sponsors for the April 3 多样性的庆祝活动. 目标是为奥利奖学金基金筹集2.5万美元. 作为他们赞助的回报, Building and Affiliate members will be given visibility leading up to the event on multiple marketing platforms and receive recognition at the 多样性的庆祝活动 amongst the 250 professionals in attendance. Platinum sponsorship has sold out, but Silver and Gold 赞助 are available. 赞助将于3月28日结束.

根据 房地产助理计划, the CRE industry’s professional ranks have less than 1% minority leadership at management levels. This is less than 1,000 people in an industry comprised of more than 125,000 professionals. 我们对这些统计数字并不满意. So let’s strengthen the CRE industry by helping the underrepresented rise through the ranks.
