The MAA’s mission is to strengthen the industry's voice and lobbying power in Washington, DC and state capitals across America.

The MAA is governed by a nine-member steering committee. The committee is responsible for assisting in the formulation, implementation and execution of the Alliance's grassroots activities in furtherance of MBA's advocacy agenda.

Regarding his election to one of the three available seats, Arvielo commented, “It is my honor to participate as a member of this committee and provide insight to help expand the usage and membership for this worthy cause.”
