udy Purviance-
Anderson with
Cushman &Wakefield
was named a BOMA
Fellow, the Building Owners
and Managers Association
International’s highest level of
recognition for ongoing contribu-
tions to commercial real estate.
Judy is a general manager
with Cushman &Wakefield of
Colorado and manages 1670
Broadway, a 36-story, LEED
Gold certified high-rise office
tower in Denver’s central busi-
ness district. She has 30 years of
experience in managing commer-
cial real estate both in suburban
and downtown office markets
with respon-
sibilities
that include
capital project
and general
construction
management.
The individ-
uals honored
as BOMA
Fellows have
displayed
exemplary
and sustained
contribu-
tions to the
industry, their
profession, the
community
and BOMA at all levels and have
continually answered the call to
leadership and service through-
out their careers.
The honorees will use the
“BOMA Fellow” credential after
their names and will be called
upon to serve BOMA in a variety
of capacities, including teaching,
authoring articles, mentoring
new members or young profes-
sionals, identifying future BOMA
leaders and serving as thought
leaders to identify future trends.
This latest class of BOMA
Fellows were honored at BOMA
International’s annual conference
this past June in Washington,
D.C.
enver Metro BOMA’s
Community Affairs
Committee (CAC)
has been the commu-
nity outreach arm of BOMA
in Denver for over 20 years.
There are two main events
that the CAC organizes every
year, the Annual Spring Work
Day and
the Annual
BOMA Toy
Drive. The
Annual
Spring Work
Day, general-
ly occurring
in June, alternates between
serving Denver Children’s
Home and Mount Saint
Vincent. The Annual BOMA
Toy Drive occurs between
November and December and
works with hundreds of build-
ings to collect toys and other
items on behalf of a dozen dif-
ferent charities.
With a member list of 30
of the most talented and
engaged professionals, the
CAC is proud to serve the
community and enlist others
to help.
This year’s Annual Spring
Work Day served Denver
Children’s Home. The CAC
recruited and organized 80
volunteers from various prop-
erty management groups and
professional services. The
scope of services included gen-
eral deep cleaning, painting,
gardening, carpet cleaning,
metal services and eleva-
tor services among others.
The BOMA community came
together to give the building
a little love to make the envi-
ronment for the staff and chil-
dren a better place to be.
Aside from the individual
volunteers, several profes-
sional companies sent in full
crews of employees to perform
the more skilled work, such
as stripping and refinishing
of metal doors, painting staff
offices and the cafeteria as
well as installation of new
flowers and removal of dead
trees around the property.
In order to accomplish the
vast scope we had all materi-
als donated to the Denver
Children’s home including
cleaning materials, plants and
paint. Among other donations
were wish-list items for the
staff offices including furni-
ture, lamps and artwork. We
also were fortunate enough to
have a full BBQ lunch donat-
ed to feed volunteers, staff
members and the children. We
enjoyed a little shade and a
break while visiting with the
kids over lunch.
The children took the time
to write thank you cards to
BOMA.
“It’s amazing that so many
of you came out here for us.
For you to cook for us AND
clean up this old building
means a ton. Thanks for mak-
ing living here easier and
more enjoyable. I appreciate
you all,” wrote Veronica.
“I am thankful for every-
thing that you did for DCH. I
appreciate it very much. I am
glad to see that you care about
us,” wrote an anonymous
child.
Last year was the 20th
anniversary of the BOMA Toy
Drive in Denver. The scope of
services for this event include
making contact with building
managers to set out donation
boxes in hundreds of building
across metro Denver where
the tenants of the buildings
are encouraged to donate
items, from toys and gifts/
clothing for teens to self-care
products for single mothers.
The CAC worked for three
months to organize participat-
ing buildings to collect over
22,000 donated items for
children, women and families,
which served 12 different
charities. In addition to the
items collected from com-
mercial buildings, more than
$2,000 in gift cards was col-
lected.
The come-together moment
for the Toy Drive is the sort-
ing day. This is when we wel-
come everyone who is willing
to come together to sort all the
collected items for each chari-
ty based on their need. We get
to see all the items together
in the same room before being
organized and handed off. The
effect is heartwarming.
This event is open to all
buildings, whether they are
BOMA members or not. If you
are interested in having your
building participate in this
wonderful event, or know of
someone else, please reach out
to the BOMA office to join us
for the 2016 BOMA Toy Drive.
The more the merrier!
Our perspective is, we are
the best at what we do in each
of our respective fields, why
shouldn’t we come together
and use our skill and knowl-
edge to better the lives of the
people in the community we
work and live in. We feel this
goes hand in hand with our
larger mission as members of
BOMA – advancing the com-
mercial real estate industry
through advocacy, profes-
sional development and the
exchange of knowledge.
