FEC will host April 28 webinar for trade association PACs (2021)
The Commission will hold a one-day online seminar for trade associations and their political action committees (PACs) on Wednesday, April 28.
Attendees can choose one of two options. Option 1 includes three sessions: a morning session, Basics for Beginners, which will introduce federal campaign finance laws, regulations, and reporting requirements to those new to federal committees; and a two-part Trade Association PAC Operations workshop in the afternoon, which will go into much more detail on fundraising and disclosure rules that apply to trade association PACs. Option 2, for those with more experience, includes just the two afternoon sessions.
Webinar information
An email containing a link to workshop materials, technical information and additional instructions will be sent to registered participants on April 27, 2021.
