BOMA SF Advocates for CRE in DC BOMA

International’s Winter Business Meeting and National Issues Conference gives BOMA members an opportunity to voice their concerns on Capitol Hill. An energetic and knowledgeable delegation from BOMA San Francisco advocated for our industry’s interests at the February conference. A legislative briefing and workshop prepared the BOMA members for a day of lobbying on Capitol Hill. Overall, nearly 400 BOMA members lobbied on behalf of our industry. Agenda items included fixing the qualified improvement property (QIP) depreciation period, advancing energy efficiency through building codes, and giving the EnergyEfficient Commercial Buildings Tax Deduction (179D) a permanent place in the tax code. The BOMA SF group met with officials or their aides in the offices of Senators Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Manny Moreno, representing BOMA Oakland/ East Bay, reports that: “Upon our return to California, we received an exciting update from BOMA International. Representative McNerney, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee who was unfamiliar with The Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act of 2019 prior to our meeting, fully supported the bill during a committee meeting. He cited a meeting with constituents who brought this bill to his attention.” This is a great example of BOMA’s advocacy.
