The Government Affairs Committee (GAC) recognizes that the negative economic indicators and transitional political dynamics have the potential to adversely affect BOMA members and the communities that they serve. Since 1908, BOMA/Metro Detroit has advocated on behalf of the office industry on the local, state and federal levels on issues that impact our building members, including taxation, energy and sustainability, preparedness and codes.

  • Clarification in guidance documentation from the Governor's attorneys and County officials..
  • Working with the Michigan Chamber since mid April on a bill to provide immunity from liability for COVID-19 exposure to business. "COVID-19 Reopening Protection Act".
