Government Relations

We at AFA pursue initiatives and act on issues that help our member companies succeed and grow. As a leader in the industry, AFA also partners with other organizations throughout the country to raise awareness about the issues that are important to fence professionals. 

At AFA, we track and monitor legislative, regulatory, and legal issues that may have an impact on fence, gate, and perimeter security professionals and businesses in the fence industry. Our Director of Government Relations and Industry Standards works closely with our Board of Directors, our Government Relations committee, and our Chapters throughout the country.

The Government Relations Committee is composed of AFA members from various sectors of the industry. The Committee works together to help evaluate the policies that affect our member companies. They accomplish this by working directly with our Director of Government Relations and Industry Standards, our Chapters, and individual members. The Committee also educates themselves on the issues that are important to membership businesses and presents them to our Board of Directors. With BOD approval, our staff can then advocate for these policy initiatives and set our policy agenda.

AFA members, through our Chapters, also work with our Director of Government Relations and Industry Standards to enact change at the local level through grassroots activism.
