The BOMA International Winter Business Meeting took place from January 28 to January 31 in San Diego, CA. As always, the legislative agenda was packed.

On February 15, 2017, BOMA/NY President Jim Kleeman, Vice President Ron Zeccardi, Board Member Laura Belt, and staff person Daniel Avery traveled down to 250 Broadway, across the street from City Hall, to meet with upper-level staff from City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito's Office. The meeting concerned Int.
