2024 Advocacy Award Recipients

Civic Partner Award: Chicago Police Department

Honors a government partner that exemplifies dedication to public service and civic collaboration.

BOMA/Chicago is proud to recognize the Chicago Police Department for its vital partnership with BOMA/Chicago's Preparedness Committee and Public-Private Task Force. During heightened protests and civil unrest due to international conflicts and election tensions, CPD has worked closely with BOMA/Chicago members on critical public safety issues, ensuring the safety of our buildings, employees, and tenants. CPD’s dedication was especially evident in preparations for the Democratic National Convention, where the Department showed exceptional professionalism in safeguarding residents while honoring individual civil rights.
