Four local leaders got candid about their careers to a group of young professionals. The panelists (Michael Bishop, Jesse Hague, Lesley Heieis, Colin Murray) spoke about their first jobs, how they got into the industry, challenges they've faced, and where they see the industry headed, as well as gave advice on how to be successful. If you have a young professional at your office who could benefit from extending their network, send their name and email address to sjones@boma.bc.ca. BOMA thanks QuadReal for providing the rooftop space, and Bee Clean Building Maintenance for their support of the TNP program. Event Calendar
