BOMA/Chicago has completed a survey of the licensed elevator inspection companies that are listed with the City of Chicago Annual Inspection Certification (AIC) Program.  Although the list provides 35 companies who are licensed inspection companies with the State of Illinois, not all indicated an interest in participating in the Chicago AIC program.
 
Seventeen companies responded to the BOMA/Chicago survey which was intended to give building members some comparative data and information on companies that are interested in providing third party inspection services as part of the AIC program.
 
The results are available at at the BOMA/Chicago website. Buildings who are interested in seeing the actual survey from any individual respondent can contact Ron Tabaczynski at rtabaczynski@bomachicago.org.  

BOMA/Chicago is also still interested in hearing from buildings about issues that they are experiencing with the AIC program.  These issues will be discussed with the Department of Buildings.  Concerns, problems and comments should also be sent to Ron Tabaczynski at rtabaczynski@bomachicago.org with AIC Program Feedback in the subject line.
 
Buildings that need to contact the Department are asked to do so only by email at AIC@cityofchicago.org. The City is using a tracking system for AIC inquiries and responses and this is the only means that they will address AIC issues.

This year's event starts with a reception at 5:30 p.m., followed by dinner at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 11, 2010, at the Hilton Chicago. The 2009 dinner raised more than $800,000, equivalent to more than 3 million meals for hungry people in our community. Proceeds are derived from event sponsorships, sponsored tables, raffle and from a special brown bag collection.

 

This year, the Greater Chicago Fodd Depository will be holding its all-new Brown Bag Challenge.

The brown bag trophy will be awarded each year to the company that has collected the most money. Collection totals will include pre-event collections as well as the collection on March 11, 2010.

The brown bag trophy will be passed along to the company with the most funds raised annually. The top three fundraising companies will be announced live at the awards dinner on March 11, 2010 at the Chicago Hilton during the awards ceremony.

The winning company will also be highlighted in a post event advertisement in Crain's Chicago
