The Council’s Government Affairs Task Force is a collection of Council members that assembles with every legislative session to discuss and identify critical issues at the state level.
Using a collective voice of leaders across the development industry equips the Council with a united front with which we can engage our state policy makers on issues that affect the ins and outs of the growth sector. This Task Force is an incredible members-only benefit that provides an opportunity to get insight from our members’ companies and get involved in how the Council advocates of their behalf at the state level.
