BOMA Dallas hopes to repeat its massive achievement of four international TOBY winners last year, and it all started Saturday with the selection of the top buildings and employees at the annual awards banquet at the Fashion Industry Gallery. The Outstanding Building of the Year (TOBY) Awards Program recognizes excellence in building management, operating efficiency, tenant retention, emergency planning and community impact. The competition is conducted at three levels—local, regional and international. Next up: Southwest Region in April.
