PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
What is an allied member? Allied members of San Antonio BOMA (“SABOMA”) consist of firms engaged in a trade, industry or profession associated with the commercial real estate industry (e.g., vendors, suppliers or professional firms). Currently SABOMA has 102 allied members. Allied members not only provide various services to our regular members in the commercial real estate industry, but they also provide generous support to SABOMA. Realizing that it takes money and commitment to sustain SABOMA, our allied members have not only opened their pocketbooks on many occasions, but their hearts as well by giving of their time and talents.

Without the help and financial support of our allied members each year, SABOMA would not be able to host the many events and functions for its membership. Some of these events are the 2002 SW Conference, BOMA OPEN, Trade Show, Children Shelter “Back to School Party”, Retama End of the Summer Party, Charity Garage Sale, etc. Because of the continued dedication of the allied members through sponsorship, these annual events continue to be successful each year. Without our fundraising efforts, SABOMA would not be able to successfully operate the association each year and continue to provide its membership with the vast array of services. Did you know that dues income is only 45% of our operating budget? It is largely through fundraising events that we are able to sustain our annual operating expenses and remain a healthy organization.

There are several other areas where we look to our allied members. Not only do they hold board positions and serve on and chair committees, but also through their efforts we are able to have the funds and resources for many of our luncheon jackpots and prize giveaways. Their advertising dollars also help support many of SABOMA's publications such as our member directory and monthly newsletters.

I want to thank all of our allied members for their continued commitment and support of SABOMA, both monetary and otherwise. Please join me in thanking them for all that they do to make this association the success that it is. We couldn’t do it without them!

® Eileen M. Kondoff, CPM
President
