"One of the most valuable things for our
development company about our NAIOP membership is
the Chapters effective legislative advocacy. We
have utilized NAIOP SoCal's local staff
government relations expertise on several
projects and appreciate the work NAIOP does for
us at the State and National level as well. The
local government relations is where the rubber
meets the road and that access is critically
important to our company."
