Why Local Committees Matter

1.

Each cycle, there are hundreds of code changes submitted, and BOMA helps the commercial real estate industry avoid unnecessary costs by defeating overly burdensome codes proposals.

2.

Now that voting protocol at the International Code Council (ICC) has changed to allow remote voting, BOMA’s local committees help educate our community members on our priorities and positions.

3.

BOMA is the only commercial real estate association with an active and robust codes advocacy program.

4.

State and local adoptions allow for local and regional input and advocacy.

5.

Local committees offer an opportunity to provide feedback and raise up local issues and codes related activities to the BOMA International’s Building Codes Committee for awareness and action.

BOMA is proud to have 81 locals throughout the US plus International Affiliates.
