Governmental Affairs Committee
The Governmental Affairs program of the Home Builders Association of Greater Des Moines covers local, state and federal issues.
The Governmental Affairs Committee:
- Monitors and reviews codes, ordinances and legislation which directly impacts the homebuilding industry
- Communicates with elected officials and policy makers regarding our industry’s issues
- Formulates and advocates for needed changes
- Educates members of the association about current issues, new laws, regulatory and administrative matters
The committee works closely with the Home Builders Association of Iowa on state issues and has direct contact with state legislators in our area, as well as county and city officials. Although the program’s primary focus is at the local and state levels; the committee monitors and provides input on federal legislation and agency activity directly to our federal officials through the National Association of Homebuilders.
