H.R. No. 154
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Members of the Texas Building Owners and Managers
Association are celebrating Texas BOMA Virtual Advocacy Day on
February 24, 2021; and
WHEREAS, Established in 1937 as the state federated
organization of BOMA International, Texas BOMA represents the
interests of stakeholders in the commercial real estate business;
it is composed of more than 2,500 members statewide and six
federated associations in Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas, Fort
Worth, Houston, and San Antonio; its members support over 100,000
jobs and add billions of dollars to the state's economy; and
WHEREAS, Texas BOMA is aligned with its parent organization
and local affiliates in working to reduce the environmental impact
of development by advancing energy efficiency and sustainability
initiatives; since 2007, BOMA International has been honored by the
Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy
with 13 ENERGY STAR Sustained Excellence Partner of the Year
Awards; and
WHEREAS, In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic greatly affected our
state and its business community, and the commercial real estate
sector has played a vital role in reopening and recovery efforts;
building owners and managers have dedicated themselves to
maintaining operations and ensuring the continuation of services,
and businesses and employers have relied on these essential workers
to provide the safe, secure, and healthy environments necessary to
bring Texans back to work and revitalize the economy of the Lone
Star State; and
WHEREAS, For more than eight decades, Texas BOMA has served
as a voice for those who work in the commercial real estate industry
while helping to promote responsible building practices, and this
legislative day provides a fitting opportunity to honor the
organization and its members; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize the Texas Building Owners and Managers
Association on the occasion of its 2021 Virtual Advocacy Day; and,
be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the association as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
