BOMA Raleigh-Durham TOBY/Holiday Banquet

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.
