Leadership That Represents Us: The Importance of BOMA/GLA Board Elections
BOMA/GLA’s Board of Directors helps guide our association and influence the commercial real estate industry across Greater Los Angeles, reflecting our members’ shared priorities and commitment to strong leadership.
As we look ahead to 2026, we are proud to welcome a dynamic mix of new and returning leaders who bring diverse perspectives, deep industry expertise, and a shared dedication to advancing BOMA/GLA’s mission.
Welcoming Our 2026 Board Leadership
We are excited to announce the 2026 BOMA/GLA Board of Directors, led by Lea Sandoval, who will step into the role of Board Chair.
Lea, along with our officers, newly elected directors, and returning board members, represents the strength and breadth of our membership—from owners and managers to service providers and industry experts across a wide range of specialties.
This balance of representation matters. It ensures that BOMA/GLA’s advocacy, programming, and strategic decisions reflect real-world challenges facing commercial property owners and managers throughout the region.
Why Representation on the Board Is So Important
BOMA/GLA’s Board is where policy positions are shaped, priorities are set, and resources are aligned to support members.
Having strong representation from across the industry means:
- Industry expertise from across disciplines strengthens Board leadership and decision-making
- Decisions are informed by on-the-ground operational experience
- BOMA/GLA speaks with credibility and authority on behalf of its members
Board elections ensure that leadership evolves alongside the industry, bringing in fresh ideas while maintaining continuity through experienced, returning directors.
Celebrating Leadership: Behind the Mask
To officially kick off the year and honor our board leadership, members are invited to attend BOMA/GLA’s first-ever Board Installation Event, Behind the Mask, on January 15 at the La Brea Tar Pits Museum.
This unique evening will celebrate the dedication of our volunteer leaders while bringing members together to start the year strong. Seating is limited, and we encourage members to reserve their spot early.
Sponsorship Opportunities Available
Sponsorship opportunities are also available for Behind the Mask, offering a meaningful way to support BOMA/GLA leadership while gaining visibility among industry peers and decision-makers.
Sponsorship is an investment in the strength, stability, and future of our association.

Board elections are a reminder that BOMA/GLA is a member-driven organization, powered by leaders who step forward to serve.
We are grateful to our outgoing directors, proud to welcome our new and returning board members, and excited for what lies ahead under strong, representative leadership.
Please join us in congratulating the 2026 Board of Directors—and in celebrating the people who help move BOMA/GLA forward!
