ssuming the presidency ofperhaps the finest local BOMA inthe country (San Francisco) is a bit
daunting, especially when following in thefootsteps of such respectable andnoteworthy colleagues likeMargot Crosman, Unico, andSteve Austin, Boston Properties(not to mention all those thatpreceded them). But it’sactually because of them that Ifeel emboldened to embarkupon this adventure, and it’sbecause of them that I alsohumbly step into such anopportunity. It’s those thathave successfully gone beforeus that often give us hope, andwhen they’re the same onesthat stick by your side whilenavigating uncharted waters, why mostanything seems achievable.
Thus is the nature of BOMA San Francisco,especially when we look over ourshoulder and peer back at 2009. I’m notsure any of us would willingly wish for arepeat performance of the trials andtravails of commercial real estate over thelast twelve months. Or would we? There’sa part of me that masochistically says,“Bring it on!” Why? Because it’s forced usto rally together like no other time in mymemory of recent history. Sure, some of usare business competitors, but all of that
seems like hyperbole when I consider thesense of community and camaraderiecommandeered through these tough times.They seem to break down barriers underthe knowledge that we’re all undergoing
the same hardships. I believeit’s under these providencesthat the depth of our truecharacter begins to shine. Andfurthermore, I’m confident thathad we not been afforded theoccasion to struggle throughthese adversities, we wouldn’tbe the better real estateprofessionals we are today.
So it’s under this banner ofesprit de corp that I have greathope for 2010. We need to leanupon one another now more
than ever, and even though someprognosticators are pessimistic about thenext twelve-plus months, I, for one, amenthusiastic with great optimism. Thinkabout it; (i) our membership is higherthan it’s ever been, (ii) our leadershipinvolvement is more committed than it’sever been, (iii) our budget and reservesare stronger than they’ve ever been, and(iv) our goals for the future are moretargeted than they’ve ever been. All ofthis seems counter-intuitive when laidagainst the backdrop of self preservationand slogans like, “Endure again through2010.” If the futurists and economists are

New Opportunities for Greater Exposure in theLocal Commercial Real Estate Marketplace
On-line Buyers Guide and Website Ads Now Available at www.bomasf.org
OMA San Francisco has joined forces withNaylor Publications to provide an on-linebuyers guide and sell advertising on our
website (www.bomasf.org). Naylor alreadyproduces our annual printed membership directory,and they produce on-line buyers guides for severalother associations including a few local BOMAs.While people will still be able to view membershipinformation on our website, the online buyers guidegives advertisers the ability to create direct links totheir own web sites, share product / serviceinformation, etc. Bottom line: more informationavailable more ways to more people, whilegenerating more revenue for BOMA.
Each BOMA member will receive a basic listing aspart of their membership, but can enhance thatlisting in a variety of different ways, each at adifferent price point. (We hope some of ourPrincipal members will take advantage of thisopportunity—it’s not just for Associate members).Naylor will be responsible for all ad sales, and anyquestions should be directed to Vicki Sherman,[email protected], 800-369-6220 x3417.

Holiday Toy Drive Thank YousBOMA San Francisco thanks all member buildings that participated in the 2009 BOMA SanFrancisco Toy Drive to benefit the San Francisco Fire Department Toy Program. Theirsupport and tenants’ generosity will help brighten the holidays for thousands of childrenthroughout the area.
This program owes much of its success to the efforts of our member companies whoprovide the vehicles and personnel to pick up and deliver barrels in November and tocollect barrels and toys and deliver them to SFFD in mid-December. This year, nine membercompanies provided streamlined pickup and delivery, making the process run smoothly forBOMA, our members and SFFD. Several of these companies are long-time veterans of theprogram, and some are brand new. Thanks to the listed companies and their teams whohelped make this year another success.
Together, we have delivered over 1 million toys in the twenty-three years BOMA has beenparticipating in the San Francisco Firefighter’s Toy Program. Today, the Toy Programdistributes over 200,000 toys each year and serves more than 40,000 families.
Toy barrel reservations and volunteer driver solicitations for next year’s program will besent to the entire membership in mid-October 2010.

accurate about next year, we have at least two options ahead of us; we can either solo this stormy sail alone,wishfully hoping dry land will eventually appear through our spyglasses, or we can collect a crew with a commongoal of circumventing gales through solidarity and discover new frontiers by mapping out our own charts. We neednow more than ever to invest into this great organization because, as it’s often been said, “The whole is greater thanthe sum of the parts.”
Would you consider raising your hand and introducing an “out of the box” idea to BOMA’s Board or ExecutiveCommittee? Would you consider bringing a new potential member to a luncheon to help them see the benefits ofBOMA San Francisco? Would you consider volunteering for a committee that builds a stronger real estatefoundation in 2010? Would you consider contributing to BOMA PAC or becoming a sponsor so that the greatbenefits afforded to you in the past may continue into the future?
While contemplating these things, let’s give thanks this holiday season accepting 2009 as a gift and come into 2010with the expectation it will be even more rewarding than our highest ascent during the peaks of past real estatecycles.
Gratefully yours during this Holiday Celebration,
Thomas
