The Restoration Industry Association (RIA) is stronger than it has been in decades, and now it is leading the charge to transform the industry as its chief advocate on the front lines.

The Advocacy and Government Affairs (AGA) committee has recently released the second in an ongoing series of official reports. The mission of the AGA is to develop and implement strategies to help create and maintain a fair and level playing field, financially and legally, for restoration contractors by advocating for their interests, while working collaboratively with stakeholders involved in the restoration process.

Learn more about the committee’s progress and read the latest reports in R&R and at www.restorationindustry.org/RIAAdvocacyandGovernmentAffairs.
