BOMA Oakland/East Bay and BOMA San Francisco Collaborating to Co-Host BOMA Bay Area TOBY Award & BOMA Bay Area EARTH Awards
In a move designed to generate additional participation in two key industry awards programs, BOMA Oakland/East Bay and BOMA San Francisco are now collaborating to co-host The Outstanding Building of the Year (TOBY) Award, and the EARTH Awards. BOMA Oakland/East Bay will open its TOBY program to BOMA San Francisco members, and conversely, BOMA San Francisco will expand the EARTH Awards to include commercial properties in Oakland/East Bay. BOMA Oakland/East Bay will take primary responsibility for managing the TOBY program, and BOMA San Francisco will manage the EARTH Awards program.
The BOMA Bay Area TOBY program kicks off in August. See www.bomaoeb.org for application instructions. Local winners will be selected and be recognized at a luncheon in November 2010. The 2011 BOMA Bay Area EARTH Awards program kicks off in November 2010, and winners will be recognized at a special luncheon in April 2011.
Program Description
The BOMA Bay Area EARTH Award recognizes member buildings within the BOMA San Francisco and BOMA Oakland/East Bay territories that utilize the most comprehensive resource management programs, including commercial recycling programs, energy and water conservation efforts, air quality and toxics reduction programs, support for public transportation, and effective use of tenant education programs geared to promoting sustainability practices in commercial office buildings. The EARTH Award program is an opportunity for BOMA members to consider the entire spectrum of programs and practices that constitute an effective "sustainability program" for office buildings including what policies and procedures should be adopted that can help move a property toward becoming "green".
