BIAOC Chapter Update - Sunti Kumjim

Orange County Chapter

BIA Orange County Chapter President

Our mission is simple. We champion housing as the foundation of vibrant and sustainable communities. Said another way, we advocate for housing. And while the BIA/OC is dedicated to advocating for housing on your behalf, it takes more than the tireless efforts of our talented staff to move the needle on housing policy and project approvals.

All too often it is the voice of the vocal few, the NIMBYs, and those who oppose housing opportunities for all that sway the outcome of the public hearing process. It is time for that to change. But in order to effect change, we need the help of you, our members. When we unite, and ensure that our collective voice is heard, we create wins for housing.

Here is the hard part. The only way to ensure our voice is heard, is to show up. In an effort to ensure that our collective voice is heard we have created two programs, Operation Turn Out and the Civic Advocacy League. Operation Turn Out is focused on mobilizing our members to show up, and the Civic Advocacy League is focused on recognizing our members that show up. Speaking at a contentious public hearing can be a daunting task and should not go without recognition. When our members volunteer to speak in favor of housing projects we need to recognize them, and they deserve your gratitude and thanks.

In this issue you will read more about both Operation Turn Out and our Civic Advocacy League. And more importantly, you will hear from two of our members that will share their experiences when we, as an industry, unite in support of housing. A win for one of us is a win for all of us. It is time for us to be the loudest voice in the room.
