BOMA is the premier real estate advocacy group in the nation and serves as the government watchdog for commercial real estate industry issues. Our legislative advocacy activities provide representation and support at national, state and local levels of government. Dealing directly with politicians and decision-makers, we do what it takes to watch out for the interests of our members. Our lobbying services provide a powerful voice in the development and implementation of codes and regulations that could adversely affect your bottomline.

Your international representation is in Washington DC, but your local advocate is just down the road. BOMA Portland retains a full-time lobbyist in Salem, representing our interests during legislative sessions. And, during non-legislative years, BOMA Portland's staff works hand-in-hand with state agencies to implement laws, codes and regulations. BOMA staff and volunteers serve on a multitude of committees, task forces and citizen involvement boards throughout the Pacific Northwest. 

When needed, we join forces with other organizations to influence governmental policies affecting our industry. Through our active leadership in the Commercial Real Estate Economic Coalition (CREEC), we give our members a strong voice in local government decisions. Leadership is BOMA Portland’s way of finding solutions conducive to its members’ growth and profitability.

Government leaders and elected officials understand BOMA’s impact on decision-making. They depend on the feedback of BOMA members regarding proposals under their consideration, keeping BOMA at the forefront of state and local policy making.
