Objectives of BAE with Committees:

1. Attend major event committee meetings (i.e. Tradeshow, TOBY) as “Operations Manager) of BOMA for information gathering.
2. Provide committees with mass mailings, Board communications, historical perspective, event planning/logistical coaching, as needed.
3. BAE is not a committee member, but rather the manager of all BOMA activities, keeper of the budget, logistics and calendar manager to avoid conflicts within the organization as well as with other local industry associations whenever possible.
4. Keeper of backup copies of event materials, flyers, registration forms, print materials, masters, event logos and any other pertinent information that committee chairs should copy for our files at the BOMA office.
5. The BAE is the decision maker as to what she can and cannot assist with in each event committee when in attendance at a meeting.
6. If it does not involve logistics, mass mailings or layout with our printer contact, then it should be done by the committee members 100%.
7. When in doubt due to excessive workload (such as when one event is coming to a close and another is just ramping up), turn the work over to the committee to avoid missing deadlines on either event. If all else fails, call one of the Officers for clarification.
