NAIOP Gavel Program
For many years now, the Washington
Chapter of NAIOP has brought together its diverse members by
focusing their individual concerns onto common goals.
As a result, NAIOP has developed into a successful lobbyist
for property owners' rights in the regulatory and legislative
areas.
NAIOP cannot fund the costs to provide this essential service
through the limited revenues generated by its annual local membership
dues and program revenues. To keep NAIOP in the forefront
of the political debate, we established "Gavel Membership"
designations. Gavel members consist of a select group
of the area's leading real estate companies and those associate
firms that service the real estate industry in the areas of
law, engineering, design, construction, and finance.
Through a strategic, coordinated effort which utilizes Gavel
funds and the Chapter's Government Affairs Committee, NAIOP
is effectively leveraging the influence of the entire industry
in the Legislature and the Executive Branches of state government.
While each fund is used for a different purpose (PAC funds are
used for political donations exclusively), the purposes are
intended to achieve the same end - to promote and protect the
commercial real estate industry.
As a result, NAIOP has successfully established itself as the
commercial real estate industry's voice by reacting aggressively
to adverse regulations and legislation and promoting its views
by drafting new legislation, negotiating regulations at the
draft stage, and working with the governor's office to develop
new policies to promote business growth.
Gavel members meet quarterly to discuss the direction and policies
of NAIOP's Legislative agenda. These exclusive meetings
are designed to inform and to provide an opportunity to meet
with other leaders in the industry.
BENEFITS OF GAVEL MEMBERSHIP
NAIOP'S lobbyist, Greg Hanon of Communico, will represent
NAIOP in the state arena and Kari-Lynn Frank will coordinate
on local issues with regards to those regulatory agencies
that affect the commercial real estate industry.
NAIOP will provide Gavel members with a special and confidential
state legislative monitoring service. If there are
any bills that you want to monitor personally or professionally,
we will send you email updates the same day that any movement
on these bills has occurred.
Gavel members will receive special custom reports regarding
state and federal actions affecting real estate.
You will be invited to our quarterly Gavel meetings designed
to provide you and your fellow members with a chance to
network while hearing a speaker on a topical issue.
You will receive monthly reports on the local issues and
weekly reports on the state issues, both via email.
You will also receive email alerts on local jurisdiction
issues that affect our industry. You will also receive
a yearly recap publication on the successes of NAIOP and
the lobbying efforts.
We will continually seek to find new ways to be responsive
to your needs, just call us!
