Sensible government
relations and reasonable legislation can work for the benefit of the building industry.
Staying involved in the legislative process ensures that the voice of the building industry is
heard at all levels - local, state and national. At each level, committees work hard
to:
|
- Monitor governmental rules
and regulations that affect the building industry, and the ability of members to do
business.
- Take action to defend the housing industry against the cost of
over-regulation.
- Help elect representatives
who have spoken up for housing.
- Raise funds to help elect
pro-housing candidates.
