Virginia PAC Fundraiser
The Power of Being in the Room: A PACtivators Legislative Reception Benefit
This fall, the PACtivators invite you to an exclusive evening where you will be in the room with the Virginia legislators and government officials who draft, debate, and vote on the policies that govern our industry. This is a rare, curated opportunity to connect face-to-face with the exact decision-makers who determine how we operate, what we can charge, how we build, and what the future of housing in Virginia looks like.
Your investment in METPAC-VA is what makes this access possible. METPAC-VA is AOBA's political action committee, and it exists for one purpose: to support the candidates and legislators who champion our industry's priorities at the Virginia General Assembly. Every contribution goes directly toward electing and maintaining relationships with the people who write our laws. Without that investment, our voice is just one of many.
The conversations you have at this reception can shape what happens in Richmond and across Northern Virginia. We encourage every member to show up, engage, and invest in what it takes to protect and advance our industry in Virginia.
What to Expect: A private reception with Virginia legislators and government officials actively involved in housing, economic development, and regulatory policy. Come with your priorities top of mind. Leave with real relationships and a direct line to the people writing our laws in Virginia.
We hope you will join us for an evening of meaningful conversation, strategic engagement, and an opportunity to invest in the future of our industry.
