Property Manager of the Year
Executive Manager of the Year
Engineer of the Year
Assistant Property Manager of the Year
Administrative Assistant of the Year
Allied Member of the Year
Young Professional of the Year
Committee Chair of the Year

As you can see, there's tons of recognition to go around. The new program recognizes leadership, innovation, management, professional growth and more. Who within your organization is a go-getter deserving of this special recognition? Submit your nominations using our super easy online form by September 30, 2018.

qiperrorTax Foundation Outlines Potential Ramifications of the Error

The drafting error in the U.S. Tax Cuts & Jobs Act that moved leasehold improvement property-as well as restaurant and retail property-from a 15-year depreciation schedule to a 39-year one is getting some much-deserved attention. All three property types were combined into "qualified improvement property" (QIP) in the 2017 tax bill and were supposed to be granted both a 15-year depreciation period and full expensing until 2022. However, the writers of the bill neglected to specify a depreciation period, reverting all property back to 39 years.

BOMA International has been working with a coalition of other real estate groups to pass a technical correction to resolve the issue. Last week, the Tax Foundation, a bipartisan organization, released a report on what they have coined the "Fixtures Fix." The report outlines the ramifications of the error, including its potential to negatively affect local economies, and urges Congress to correct the issue without delay. Read the report here.
