Meet BOMA's Future Leaders

BOMA welcomed 25 local students and three military vets to its annual Career Day to introduce them to all aspects of commercial real estate, including asset management, engineering, and property management.

The students—who hail from local colleges like Valencia, UCF, Seminole State, FSU, and DeVry—also got the opportunity to meet with BOMA fellows and hear from org chair Rich Greninger.

Among the industry pros offering insights: CBRE senior real estate manager Lynn Vilmar.
