Your knowledge and interest in regulatory and legislative issues will influence NAIOP’s government affairs agenda and contribute to white papers and special events on critical topics affecting real estate development in Massachusetts. The Chapter maintains three Government Affairs Committees:

• Environmental Committee: Members of this committee frequently provide comments on environmental regulations or legislation affecting commercial real estate including water issues, endangered species, and wetlands. They are often invited to represent NAIOP on issue specific working groups convened by DEP. Meetings are held on a monthly basis.
• Energy & Infrastructure Committee: This committee focuses on a wide range of issues including transportation, infrastructure financing, tax issues, and energy. Meetings are held every other month.
• Hazardous Waste (21E) Committee: This committee works on issues affecting the redevelopment of brownfield sites in Massachusetts. Committee members have shaped indoor air policies and revisions to the MCP. They frequently participate on task forces created by DEP. Meetings are held on a monthly basis.
