Nearly 40 members came together on June 2nd for our Annual Indy Parks Clean-up Day.  Members mulched the playgrounds, cleaned up debris, pulled weeds, and painted benches and shelters.  The historic Garfield Park is hidden gem in the city of Indianapolis.  We were happy to help make it shine.  See photos... 

Thank you to Brian Selke of Mid-America Elevator for keeping us in the loop on elevator code changes.  CODE CHANGES

Hello Sarah,

The Elevator Code Committee has completed the review of the new / proposed adoption of ASME 17.1 – 2016 Elevator Safety Code.  The circled part in the attachment of the new proposed code will cost building owners and I thought BOMA should be aware.  This new code should go up for adoption this year with I’m assuming effective date January 1, 2023.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Brian Selke, President

What a week it's been at our nation's capital!  We had several members head to Washington D.C. for the BOMA International Winter Business Meeting.  While not a typical Capitol Hill visit with numerous visits with our representatives, we were ecstatic to meet with one office to discuss workforce development, carbon reduction initiatives, and a loan cap expansion of energy efficient upgrades.  See our talking points.
