About BOMA

BOMA Calgary Mission Statement

BOMA's mission is to actively represent its members on matters affecting the ownership and management of commerical properties.

Established in 1959, BOMA is an industry association that promotes the professional standards of commercial building ownership and property management. BOMA is incorporated as a not-for-profit entity under the Societies Act of Alberta. BOMA is a member-driven, committee-run, organization that is locally autonomous and independant. BOMA is affiliated with BOMA Canada, a body that represents the industry nationally, and is federated with BOMA International.

BOMA Canada is affiliated with BOMA International, headquartered in Washington, D.C. This 19,000 member organization represents building industry groups around the world.

Over the years, the organization has grown to such an extent that it has become necessary to establish a separate organization to deliver many educational programs. This separate organization is known as the Building Owners and Managers Institute or BOMI. BOMI delivers the Real Property Administrator (RPA) program, the Systems Maintenance Technician/Administrator (SMT/SMA) program, the Facilities Management Administrator (FMA) program together with various other educational services.
