ANNAPOLIS, Md., Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Board of Trustees of Building Owners and Managers Institute (BOMI) is pleased to award two J. Bradley Kennedy Scholarships this year to Angela Brooks, Property Management Specialist, with Paycom Software, Inc., and Bilal Khan, Group Director, Facilities and Admin Services, Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL). 

Established in 2011, BOMI created the scholarship to honor Mr. J. Bradley (Brad) Kennedy's focus on excellence and his lifelong commitment to education. The annual scholarship is awarded to a student who is in pursuit of advancing their property or facilities management career.

"Each year, an independent committee made up of the BOMI Board of Trustees Competency Committee reviews and ranks all applications based on a weighted scale across several categories," stated Andrew Taylor, BOMI's Chairman of the Board. "We are pleased to be able to offer support for continued personal and professional growth with the CRE industry."

Brooks has five years of industry experience and has established deep roots in the field, both locally in Oklahoma City and nationally through BOMA International. She currently serves as the President of BOMA Oklahoma City, is a mentee in the Daniel J. Chancey Leadership Academy, and recently joined the Membership Committee at BOMA International. 

"This scholarship provides vital support in my pursuit of the RPA® designation and represents an investment in a professional who is deeply committed to the growth, ethics, and future of the property management industry. I am grateful for the opportunity to continue my education through BOMI," says Brooks.

Khan has over 21 years of leadership experience in network planning, implementation, and operations, as well as contracts, facilities management, and client success. He has streamlined operations across 40M+ sq. ft. over 2,000+ facilities.

"My objective is to continue advancing in the facilities and property management profession at a global level by aligning with international best practices, sustainability standards, and strategic operational excellence. Obtaining the FMA® would not only validate my practical experience but also give me the formal foundation to take on more impactful leadership roles internationally, particularly in the UAE or other global markets where credentials from BOMI are highly respected," says Khan.

Each scholarship recipient receives free tuition for any courses required to earn their selected BOMI designation.
