Municipal Issues - The members of the Government Affairs Committee are monitoring municipal issues that may impact the commercial real estate community throughout the suburban Chicago area. If there is an issue currently being discussed in your municipality, please advise the BOMA/Suburban Chicago office so that we may work with you to lessen the financial impact on existing buildings.

National Level - When BOMA International apprises our BOMA Local of issues that may impact the commercial real estate industry, we inform our members through this website and our weekly electronic newsletter, Weekly Connections. Stay informed by making sure you are receiving and reading our member publications.

Advocacy Issues in 2016 - Groups of our members met with the senior staff of our legislators (Congressman Foster, Congressman Hultgren, Congressman Roskam and others) during the National Issues Conference February 2016 in Washington, DC to make them aware of the major issues facing the commercial real estate industry: Accessibility Legislation, Energy Efficiency, and Tax Reform.
