escribe the career path that ledyou to your present position.I was in the performing arts—

dancer, choreographer, director. I arrivedin San Francisco in the late 70’s as afounding member of the Oberlin DanceCollective (now SF’s own ODCDance). I recently had lunch inManhattan with an old friend,the editor of Dance Magazine,and was thrilled when sheintroduced me to the staff, andthey were impressed!

Like many of us, I just fell intoreal estate. My broker loves topoint out that he actually wentto school because he wanted tobe in real estate. I really enjoythe variety in the backgroundsof my colleagues. One of mybest friends worked for the suicideprevention hotline. Not bad preparation,eh? We’re a motley lot in the best sense ofthe word.

Tell us about your BOMA involvement.Why are you involved in thisassociation?I can thank Joe Murphy for that. When Iworked for Northwest Asset ManagementCompany, we all went to everything. Istarted RPA classes before I got my realestate license. I’ve always worked for

small companies. BOMA has offered meaccess to peers, education and training,exposure to upcoming codes andregulations, and a place to hone myleadership skills. It has replaced what thebest large companies provide to their

employees.

What value have you found inserving on committees and theBoard?Inestimable. I’ve loved everycommittee I’ve served on and Iwon’t bore you with the list.Here’s the best story. I joinedthe Government AffairsCommittee in 1996 when therewere a number of task forcesstarting up. I wanted to be pro-active and volunteer in order toavoid getting the worst possible

assignment. No luck. I was asked to chairSolid Waste and Recycling. Glamorous,huh?? Well. . .it’s probably the singlemost influential thing in my career. Ibecame the building manager of 100 Pineshortly thereafter and the rest is history --recycling awards, first LEED EB multi-tenant office building in California,promoted to Director of Sustainability forUnico’s nine million square feet of mixedproperty types. I’m so proud of what isnow the Environment Committee!

Member and Associate Member of the Year awards.These awards were implemented to recognize peoplewho exemplify service to BOMA. The generalmembership was asked to nominate candidates andthose nominations were reviewed by BOMA’sLeadership Development Committee. Criteria used toevaluate nominees include committee involvement,attendance at events, contribution of time and talent,demonstrated leadership skills and an active role inBOMA’s advocacy efforts.

Congratulations to BOMA’s 2008 Principal Member ofthe Year,Margot Crosman, General Manager & Directorof Sustainability, with Unico. Margot represents ourlocal BOMA to the Executive Committee of BOMACalifornia has provided invaluable guidance to theadvocacy efforts of our state association. Further, bytaking the lead on fundraising efforts to benefit theprograms of our statewide organization, Margot hasfinancially strengthened BOMA California, helping toensure that it has the resources necessary to protectprivate property rights and to foster reasonable publicpolicy impacting commercial real estate.

BOMA awarded the 2008 Associate Member of the Yearaward to Debbie Shea ofWindow Solutions. Assecretary to our Government and Public AffairsCommittee, Debbie has helped us record the manyactions of that group, and to follow through onnumerous open issues. Further, representing BOMA tothe Small Business Network, in their many eveningmeetings, she has helped us to maintain our link to thatimportant business ally.

BOMA also thanked Rich Lee for taking time to makenumerous calls on behalf of BOMA’s political actioncommittee. Rich’s efforts raised member awareness ofthe importance of our PAC’s work, and helped generatesignificant additional donations to our political actioncommittee.

BOMA honored San Francisco Supervisor SeanElsbernd as its Public Official of the Year citing hispragmatic and fair-minded approach to working onissues affecting the local community. Supervisor

Elsbernd has consistently voted to support economicanalysis of proposed ordinances, and he has workedclosely with BOMA and other business organizations toget their input on legislation affecting us. Especiallynotable was the initiative that Supervisor Elsberndwrote and advanced earlier this year, known asProposition B. Through the passage of Prop B,Supervisor Elsbernd saved San Francisco taxpayerssubstantial future dollars, by expanding the vesting timefor city employees to receive full healthcare benefitsupon retirement—from 5 to 20 years.

Getting labor and the business community behind thiseffort, educating voters about it’s importance to ourcity’s future economic health, and getting Prop B passeddemonstrates exactly the kind of leadership we need tosee from our elected leaders.

MARKETING MEMO:Marketing Your Property During the Recession

By Henry Eason, Managing Partner, Eason Communications LLC, henry@easoncom.com

hen times are tough there is no better way for aproperty manager to stretch a marketing budgetthan using public relations. Here are a dozen tips

your marketing manager or PR agency can use to promoteyour building or company cost effectively.

1. Think “stories.” There are countless interesting thingsgoing on in your building that could make for usefulnews releases, media pitches, newsletter items,direct-mail pieces or speeches.

2. Invite influential reporters (on a one-to-one basis) toyour building for a tour and lunch in yourconference room or your on-site restaurant, whereyou can discuss newsy topics and find out whatinterests them.

3. Write how-to articles for business and industry trademagazines and association newsletters. Address veryspecific topics that you and your staff handle well.

4. Conduct consumer-oriented seminars or workshopsin your conference room for select prospects on thebest ways to evaluate competing lease opportunities.And invite a reporter or two to attend.

5. Develop a “multi-tasking” newsletter for tenants,prospects, networking sources, neighboringbusinesses, government officials and journalists. Butthis time…make it a publication that people actuallywant or need to read. And use professional design soit doesn’t make you look cheap.

6. Join or regularly attend trade association events forcompanies in industries you wish to attract. Offer togive a talk on commercial real estate issues or serveon a panel.

7. Any time you organize your thoughts to make aspeech or participate in a seminar, re-work thatintellectual content into a news release or an article.

8. Develop “source” relationships with media whocover your industry. Be the “go-to” person for themwhen they encounter commercial propertymanagement issues.

9. Create and keep updated a “news” section on yourWeb site and include your news announcements,copies of your articles, speeches, high-resolutionphotos publications can use and the biographies andcontact information of your key people.

10. Get involved with your local BOMA and take aleadership role. Offer to make speeches, write articlesfor its newsletter and volunteer to serve on acommittee or help develop a program.

11. Create high-impact postcard mailers that targetspecific prospects and provide them with incentivesto visit your Web site or contact you directly becauseyour building has strong green features or is situatedclose to technology firms or near attractions that theiremployees would enjoy, etc.

12. When you spend precious dollars advertising inpublications, make sure the ads go beyond vagueimages and branded messages and say somethingthat will make prospects take action. And tie your adcontent into your other communications programs tomagnify impact.

Eason Communications LLC is a San Francisco-basedmarketing and public relations agency that serves avariety of companies and organizations in the real estateand built community, including BOMA San Francisco.Henry can be reached at 415-596-4965.

Jacqueline Robinson, Property ManagerPM Realty Group

Student RecommendationI found that the class was a great opportunityto learn with your peers. It was great to shareexperiences with people that are very new tothe industry. I found that the class would be avaluable tool for anyone entering into a careerin real estate and it’s a great refresher coursefor those that have been in it for a while.

Jackie Jones-McWilliamsUnico

Instructor RecommendationThe Building Operations 1 & 2 coursematerial was very comprehensive andcontained useful up- to-date building systemsand operating information coupled withexcellent PowerPoint slides. I also feel thatthe ability to have the class visit a buildingand have the opportunity to tour with thechief engineer and property manager helpedbring into perspective the written materialwith actual building systems/componentssuch as domestic water service, fire sprinklersystems, HVAC system, roof system, firealarm system and recycling.
