BOMA Raleigh-Durham 2025 TOBY/Holiday Banquet

December 2, 2025, at The Westin in Raleigh!

In addition to the following BOMA Raleigh-Durham Awards Ceremony,  we are hosting the Annual Tricky Tray Basket raffle.

TOBY Awards

The TOBY Awards are the most prestigious and comprehensive programs of their kind in the commercial real estate industry, recognizing quality in buildings and rewarding excellence in building management. During the competitions, all facets of a building's operations are thoroughly evaluated. Buildings are judged on everything from community involvement and site management to environmental and "green" policies and procedures.

TOBY LEVELS OF COMPETITION

The competition consists of three levels. The competition begins at the BOMA local association level, winning entries advance from there to the regional level, and finally, regional winners advance to the international level. The international TOBY Awards will be presented at the BOMA International Conference each year. To learn more about the BOMA International TOBY Competition, visit here.

Pacesetter Awards

The Pacesetter Awards celebrate outstanding individuals and companies within the BOMA Raleigh-Durham community who demonstrate exceptional professionalism, integrity, and commitment to the commercial real estate industry. This annual event recognizes those making a significant impact, from property managers to young professionals, highlighting their contributions and inspiring excellence in the field.
