Events

BOMA OC On the Menu - LA County Moratorium Update

BOMA OC is a primary source of information on legislative issues affecting the Commercial Real Estate industry. At the local, state, and national levels, BOMA represents the concerns of commercial property owners, managers and their tenants. From local code and real estate issues, to national legislation issues, BOMA protects our members interests.

We understand that this is still an unprecedented time and property management has been challenging. We believe one way a BOMA Membership has proven to be valuable is through its constant offering of educational programs that are second to none.

On February 9^th, our Education Committee produced an On the Menu Webinar focusing on the Los Angeles County Moratorium so members could learn more about how the world will be continuing to change into 2022. We received feedback that the webinar was ‘‘very informative,’ so we wanted to share it with you in case you were not able to attend:
