BOMA & BOLR

The Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) of Philadelphia was organized on April 5, 1916. The Association is a Pennsylvania nonprofit corporation 501(c)(6).

The BOMA Philadelphia Board of Directors (Board) approved the merger of BOMA Philadelphia and the Building Operators Labor Relations (BOLR), with BOLR becoming a division of BOMA Philadelphia, at the Sept. 12, 1996 Board meeting. BOLR has its own — separate from BOMA Philadelphia — board and bylaws.

BOLR is an organization of building owners and managers who directly or indirectly, through janitorial contractors, employ cleaners and maintenance personnel in Center City office buildings. These employees, in most cases, are members of Service Employees International Union, SEIU 32 BJ. Every three years BOLR negotiates a citywide, multi-employer Collective Bargaining Agreement. BOLR also represents its members in grievance hearings whenever SEIU 32 BJ files a grievance against a member building. The principal place of business of this corporation is the City of Philadelphia. The Association is registered under all appropriate laws regarding nonprofit corporations for the state of Pennsylvania.
