Now more than ever, state legislatures and city halls are poised to impact the commercial real estate industry. BOMA International's member-driven Industry Defense Fund is instrumental in giving a voice to the commercial real estate industry helping achieve critical advocacy successes. Its purpose is to ensure that adequate funds are available at the federal, state and local levels for wide-ranging advocacy issues that may impact BOMA members. The IDF is administered by an oversight committee, and applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
The Industry Defense fund has assisted BOMA members with a variety of governmental and regulatory issues including sales and use taxes, property taxes, utility submetering, sustainability initiatives, and building codes among others. Watch this video to hear more about the Industry Defense Fund from BOMA International President Henry Chamberlain and members around the country.
