Voluntary contributions by TBBA members to the Industry Issues Fund will help to underwrite the cost of legal challenges to regulatory issues, impact fees, building moratoria, as well as data research to counter activist propaganda, and public relations campaigns to tell our side of the story. Rather than any kind of assessment, dues increase, or a percentage of the value of the business, the TBBA Board of Directors knew that members would prefer a fair-share, voluntary approach to funding the effort. Although the issues directly affect builders and developers, all subcontractors, suppliers and service companies are all ultimately affected and are encouraged to participate.
