I encourage each and every one of you to take a look at the BOMA 2026 Market Study. The impact you make in this industry is astounding. The multiplier effect of your work alone is amazing. For every $1 invested in Commercial Real Estate industry $2.2 dollars are generated in the economy. Also in this issue is a BOMA International AI Survey. Your experience and opinions matter!		6
Thank YOU for your membership. Together, we are advancing our industry, strengthening relationships, and ensuring that BOMA Detroit remains the premier resource and voice for commercial real estate professionals across the region. Thank you!		6
From the Emerging Professionals Chair		9
This year also marks an important milestone for one of our committee members. Jahmar Rashad is wrapping up his final year as an Emerging Professional as he reaches ten years in the commercial real estate industry. Jahmar has been instrumental in shaping this committee, growing participation, and creating opportunities for others to get involved. Jahmar is a natural born leader, and we cannot wait to see what he does next.		10
As Jahmar prepares for his next chapter, we'll be looking for a new committee member to join the Emerging Professionals leadership team. If you're passionate about our industry, interested in growing your network, and looking for a meaningful way to get involved with BOMA, I encourage you to reach out.		10
Thank you to everyone who has supported Emerging Professionals, attended an event, mentored a colleague, or encouraged someone new to get involved. A special thank you to the vendors and industry partners who have sponsored our events throughout the year. We appreciate your partnership and your commitment to building relationships with the next generation of industry leaders.		10
I look forward to seeing many of you at the upcoming TOBY Awards. It has always been one of my favorite BOMA events and was my first introduction to the organization. Beyond celebrating exceptional properties and accomplishments, I've always appreciated the opportunity to recognize the people behind the work.		10

BOMA International is conducting a membership survey on the use of artificial intelligence in commercial real estate. BOMA Metro Detroit invites you to participate in this survey – even if you do not use AI or use it rarely. The deadline to participate in the survey has been extended to October 23rd.		15
This survey is designed to understand how CRE professionals are currently using AI, where they see opportunities for additional use, what benefits and challenges they are experiencing, and how organizations are addressing issues such as training, governance, privacy, cybersecurity, and human oversight.		15
Participate in the survey using this link-> CRE Professionals Survey & Product/Service Provider (Allied Member) Professionals Survey		15
