Advocacy
Effective advocacy at the local, state and regional level is a key advantage to membership in BOMA Virginia. BOMA Virginia shares in its advocacy efforts with AOBA, the Apartment and Office Building Association of Metropolitan Washington. Take a moment to learn more about advocacy efforts in Virginia at the AOBA website.
When you become a member of BOMA Virginia, a portion of your dues dollars is sent to BOMA International. Your investment in BOMA International saves you and your company money every year. BOMA's advocacy staff works to pass legislation, regulations and codes and standards changes favorable to the commercial real estate industry. In addition, much of what BOMA International accomplishes on your behalf is to prevent onerous proposals from becoming law. Now more than ever, state legislatures and regulatory agencies are poised to impact the commercial real estate industry.
BOMAPAC
BOMAPAC is BOMA International's Political Action Committee. It enables BOMA International's advocacy team to raise money to re-elect political candidates for federal office who know and understand – and support real estate's issues.
