NEW YORK CITY—BOMA/NY's new president has outlined an ambitious strategy for the new year, with priorities including recruitment of new members as well as greater engagement of existing ones. Through "investing in our people, technology and program excellence, we will be bringing value back home to the buildings, owners, all members and this great city overall," BOMA/NY president Jim Kleeman said as he took the reins last week.

Kleeman and the new slate of BOMA/NY officers will focus on relaunching and revitalizing the BOMA/NY Long-Range Strategic Plan, via a working committee already in planning. Another initiative already in progress is developing new talent on committees and tasks forces; the BOMA/NY leadership is also giving special focus to recruiting Millennials and the next generation of leadership.

The association is also looking to engage existing members at all levels, particularly through town halls with all membership levels. The initial focus will be on the group's allied and professional membership levels. Another priority Kleeman outlined during his first meeting as BOMA.NY president was expanding membership involvement to the BOMA regional and international levels.
