GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS

Mandate

The GAC (Government Affairs Committee) strives to represent BOMA Ottawa as a powerful and influential voice in government affairs on legislative issues impacting the commercial building industry. The GAC monitors and maintains open dialogue with municipal, provincial and federal governments and works to identify, promote and, when necessary, resolve issues affecting BOMA and its members.

The GAC publicizes BOMA's position to the BOMA membership by producing written articles and position papers and encourages the support and involvement of BOMA members on the Committee as situations demand.

The GAC extends its reach by forming coalitions with other industry organizations having common interests on issues affecting BOMA and its members.
