| President's Message
Programs and Seminars organized a great lunch in May. I received a lot of positive feedback about the panel discussion together with some great improvement ideas for next time. As Property Management and Service Provider professionals, we have so much in common and it is always inspiring to see collaboration and the sharing of ideas and experiences. Thank you to everyone that "volunteered" to be on the panel. June brings school holidays and vacations. As busy professionals it is sometimes a challenge to balance business and family, but it is always important to find time for those precious moments. I am looking forward to the BOMA San Diego Annual Summer Golf Tournament later this month and hope to see you there. After the golf, we are off to DC to represent San Diego at the 2016 BOMA International Conference and Expo, presented by BOMA International and BUILDINGS. There are always great takeaways from the seminars, exhibits and meetings with other BOMA Chapters and this is sure to be a great event. If you are traveling over the summer, please be safe. Looking forward to seeing you at our upcoming events!

This Season's Foundations Course BOMA San Diego is in the midst of wrapping up this season's session of the Foundations course. When asked about her experience being a Foundations student, Myrandia Ingraham from Emmes Real Estate said "BOMA Foundations has helped me better understand all aspects of property management. As a result, I am a more knowledgeable and valuable member of my property management team. One of the best aspects of this course is that each module is instructed by experts in each field. I would strongly encourage anyone pursuing a career in property management to take the BOMA Foundations Course." Further details on the course can be found here.

Pizza, Beer, Wine, Golf.. Sign Me Up!
The BOMA Emerging Leaders Committee planned a clever event this month at the Sorrento Valley Golf Center. The event took place at their driving range on a Wednesday evening and attendees were treated to a free golf swing analysis and some pointers from a Pro Golfer! I have to admit that my initial draw to this event had everything to do with the fact that the Dang Brothers Pizza 1974 Vintage Fire Engine Food Truck would be serving up wood fired pizzas. If you haven’t heard of them, they are worth seeking out! My second draw to the event was the golf instruction and swing analysis provided by Brian Bobbitt, a British Professional Golf Instructor. Given that the event was only $10, this was a steal of a deal!
