A few weeks ago, BOMA International launched the online 2008 Experience Exchange Report (EER) Survey. We want to remind you to submit your building information as soon as possible, if you have not already.

Please visit: http://ww w.boma.org/2008EERsurvey to complete your survey.

If you would like a blank copy of the survey for your reference, please visit http://www.bom a.org/Research/. The survey deadline is March 20, 2008.

The results of this survey are critical to gauge the health of our industry and your participation ensures that the data reflects actual office building income and expense values. In exchange for your participation, we will send you a detailed Expense Performance Comparison which compares your building to similar buildings in your area by location, size, and age. In addition, you will receive substantial discounts on the 2008 EER CD and book.

Please call us at 1-888-364-0801 or e-mail us at eer@boma.org if you need help or have questions.

Thank you for your help in making the 2008 EER the best yet.
