FEC fall regional conferences

Each year the Federal Election Commission sponsors conferences where Commissioners and staff conduct a variety of technical workshops on federal campaign finance law. Workshops are designed for those seeking an introduction to the basic provisions of the law as well as for those more experienced in campaign finance law. The two conferences scheduled to be held this fall are for House and Senate campaigns, political party committees and corporations, labor organizations, trade associations, membership organizations and their respective PACs.
