AIA Massachusetts Government Affairs: A Conversation with Rep. Tackey Chan

As chairs of the AIA Massachusetts Government Affairs Committee (GAC), we would like to invite all interested members to join us for an update on the legislative and regulatory issues that could have an impact on the way we practice architecture here in Massachusetts.

This month, our special guest speaker is Rep. Tackey Chan (D-Quincy). Rep. Chan is the House Chair of the Joint Committee on Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure (JCCPPL). The JCCPPL has purview over all bills related to registration of various trades or professions such as architects, engineers, and contractors. Specifically, we will discuss the intersection between his committees' work and our advocacy agenda and consider how our members can better become a resource to him, the Committee, and the Legislature in general.

As the sole committee of the Massachusetts chapter of AIA, the GAC’s mission is to actively participate in the legislative and regulatory process and encourage public advocacy.
