MBIA Looks to the 2023 Legislative Session with New Leadership
I know the building industry is a diverse industry with many members spread across a large state and I choose to view this as an opportunity rather than a challenge or problem. Diversity is inherently resourceful, and I feel we have what it takes to bring the best solutions to the table in a time where we need solutions – not problems.
Every Legislative Session brings with it a plethora of information and activity and I aim to establish a clear and effective communication channel that will provide the best information disbursement as well as a responsive audience that will keep our legislative team well informed and able to communicate effectively with our legislators and our members.
With the political climate as it is, I foresee a very busy legislative session this year with our key issues being Water, Attainable Housing & Development, Workforce Development, Supply Chain Challenges, Building Codes, Growth Plans/Local Jurisdictional Issues and Property Taxes.
I believe that there are opportunities for big and positive changes in all areas we as an association operate, and I feel we can make excellent change if we work together and communicate effectively.
