FEC to host Corporate PAC Webinar February 14-15 (2023)
The Commission will hold an in-depth, online training event for corporations and their political action committees (PACs) on Tuesday, February 14 and Wednesday, February 15. These live, interactive workshops are designed for those seeking an introduction to the basic provisions of the law as well as for those more experienced in the campaign finance laws relevant to corporations and their PACs.
Attendees can choose one of two options. Option 1 includes three sessions: a Basics for Beginners session on Tuesday, which will introduce federal campaign finance laws, regulations, and reporting requirements to those new to federal committees; and a two-part Corporate PAC Operations workshop on Wednesday, which will go into much more detail on fundraising, making contributions, reporting scenarios, and the disclosure rules that apply to corporate PACs. Option 2, for those with more experience, includes just the two Wednesday afternoon sessions. This will be the only in-depth webinar geared specifically toward corporations and their PACs this year, so register today to reserve your spot.
Note: This webinar is tailored to PACs set up and administered by corporations. Webinars for membership/labor organization PACs and trade association PACs will be held on March 14-15 and April 11-12, respectively. Click here for a full webinar schedule.
