As the smart home industry grows, so do laws attempting to regulate it. CEDIA’s Government Affairs department works round the clock to ensure proposed changes are just, and do not impact an integrator’s basic right to honest work. But this is an ongoing fight, and one that requires support from all corners of the industry.
“It would be enough if CEDIA’s Government Affairs program simply monitored changing laws and legislation, so we weren’t surprised when, one day, we woke up and a law was being passed that affected us doing our jobs,” said Will Breaux, President of iconic.systems. “But they take it a step further. CEDIA stands up and participates in governmental legislation, attending and consulting in state legislative sessions and city council meetings across the country. The least we can do is have their back and also participate.”
Take the first step in advocating for your business – and the entire industry – at the CEDIA Advocacy Town Hall.
