s we close out 2010 and head into a new year, I am struck byseveral things. First, the tremendous resilience our members havedisplayed in meeting the challenges of the last 2 years, arguably

the most difficult we have seen in our collective careers. Second, theperformance and results we have produced as an Association under theseconditions and how much better, smarter, productive and VALUABLE wehave become as real estate practitioners. What doesn't kill you willcertainly make you stronger and there are testimonials all over the Cityfrom anyone you care to ask who will tell you how tough it has been. Butthe strong do survive and in fact, thrive.

We are currently by all measures moving out of Recession and intoRecovery and as a regional economy, leading the nation with technologyand access to intellectual capital that is the envy of the industry. We havesurvived scare tactics like "zombie buildings", a near economic meltdown,an idling of the capital markets and rampant fear that paralyzed realestate investors. But as we move into 2011, we are re-gaining momentumand one of my favorite words; "Swagger", that comes from the confidencein knowing you have not only survived but made a significantcontribution to your firm, colleagues, clients and customers. And in theprocess, you upped your game. It's an American tradition to overcomeadverse conditions under long odds and a bleak outlook and we shouldall take great pride in getting through this together. There are days aheadthat will propel us to the other side of the real estate cycle, the one that ismuch more fun but which also reminds us of how tough things can getthinking back to the downturn we’ve emerged from. When we get there,we should all remember exactly how it tastes in order to maintain ourperspective.

The network of BOMA member companies has stood together, weathereda fierce storm and now have stories to share with future generations.

A final thought on turning to the next Chapter is the recognition that weare setting the pace and leading the industry into the future, a future thatis accelerating along with the rest of the world. The pace of change isstaggering and we will need to continue to educate and challengeourselves. We are not laggards. We are trail blazers, thought leaders,innovators, optimists, trend setters and cutting-edge professionals whohappen to be some of the best people in the world to be associated with.The next time you are at one of our events, take a good look around at thequality and caliber of our members. I wouldn't trade it for any otherAssociation.
