Madeline Krieger, retail coordinator for Niagara Casinos, has been awarded the 2023 Vyetta Sunderland Scholarship to support her studies toward a Real Property Administrator (RPA) designation. BOMI Education Canada bestows the bursary every year to a Canadian student who is pursing career advancement in property or facilities management.
Krieger spent five years in a customer service role at Niagara Casinos before joining the in-house retail division in 2019. She credits BOMA Education Canada for helping her navigate the learning curve of a new career path.
“I entered the property management industry in 2019 with limited experience. BOMI Education Canada has given me the tools, education and confidence I need to succeed as a retail coordinator,” Krieger recounts. “I am beyond grateful to be selected as the successful recipient of the Vyetta Sunderland Scholarship Award.”
The scholarship is named for BOMI International’s chair, who is a longstanding champion of professional development through ongoing education. It was conveyed during the National Awards Gala at BOMEX, the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) of Canada’s annual conference, which was held in Edmonton last week.
“Working with Vyetta Sunderland on various BOMI boards and committees, I know she would agree that Madeline embodies the characteristics the committee seeks for the scholarship recipient,” says Kim Saunders, chair of BOMI Education Canada and property manager at East Port Properties Limited.
