2020 OUTLOOK: GET INVOLVED & ADVOCATE FOR
YOUR COMMUNITY
While industry representatives are important, nothing is more important than the voice of actual
constituents—especially board members. Board members have a unique understanding of how
legislation may impact their role and the operation of the association.
Here are some of the best ways to get engaged and influence legislative decisions:
1. Discuss issues with
your representative
in person
2. Invite legislators to
board meetings and
events
3. Write a local
editorial referencing
pending issues
4. Provide materials
that explain the impact
of legislation
5. Send emails, write
letters, and make
phone calls
6. Donate to a Political
Action Committee (PAC)
that provides campaign
contributions to legislators
who support the community
association industry.
