| Participate in the BOMA Experience Exchange Report (EER)
BOMA International's Experience Exchange Report (EER) is all about improving performance through shared data. Any office building can provide data through the report, and step-by-step features allow you to complete the online form in about an hour. By participating in the EER, you will receive a free expense performance comparison on how your building compares to its peers in your market, and you will save 25% or more on all EER product purchases. Additionally, EER participation is a pre-requisite for participation in the BOMA 360 Performance Program. You can submit your data now through March 30. As always, your data will be kept confidential, and only aggregated, summary analyses will be provided.
