BOMA International Advocacy is Energized
Due to the 2008 election cycle, this year’s legislative calendar will be tight and fast; which means that BOMA International’s advocacy team has a busy and exciting year ahead.
Last year BOMA International had some important victories. Most significant was the passage of key legislation to extend the federal terrorism risk insurance program, the defeat of onerous mandatory energy efficiency targets in the federal energy bill that was passed into law, the defeat of tax increase on carried interest (though we do expect this to resurface early in 2008), and continued victories in securing adoption of BOMA supported building codes in key jurisdictions.
The 2008 legislative calendar is hot with issues crucial to BOMA International members-now is the time to get involved and get energized! Advocacy is a contact sport: mobilize your grassroots membership, donate to BOMAPAC, call your legislator, visit their local office, use your Legislative Action Center and write a letter. Have your voice be heard by those who represent you TODAY!
