Political Action Committee (PAC)
The BOMA/GLA Political Action Committee (PAC) is the political arm of BOMA/GLA and is a powerful tool in representing the commercial real estate industry. The PAC allows staff and members to attend political events and financially support elected officials and candidates for office that support our industry. A strong PAC is essential to influencing public policy and advocating for the interests of commercial real estate owners, managers and service providers.
The PAC is only open to members who are at a senior level within their company. All categories of members are welcome to participate on the PAC.
Staff Liaison: Director of Government and Public Affairs
