Annual Meeting & Member Awards

We are excited to return to The Heirloom at N.K. Hurst, a beautifully restored 19th-century gem that once housed a bustling printing company and later the N.K. Hurst Co. Inc. This year’s event promises to be an unforgettable evening as we celebrate the close of another successful year with BOMA Indiana. Cocktail attire is highly encouraged but not required. 

Special Highlights:

• Keynote Speakers: We are honored to feature an exclusive conversation with Jake Query and Dr. Eugene White, two individuals whose lives intersected at North Central High School. Jake, a student on the brink of losing his way, found a mentor in Dr. White, whose guidance helped shape his future. Their story exemplifies the profound impact mentorship can have on our lives—especially as we approach the season of giving and reflection. Despite their different backgrounds, Jake and Dr. White share a commitment to making a difference in the lives of others.

• Celebrate Excellence: Join us as we recognize outstanding members with our Member Awards, announce exciting plans for 2025, and reflect on the power of mentorship within our community.
