FEC to host reporting and FECFile workshops (October 2014)
The
Commission will offer reporting and FECFile workshops next month to help filers prepare for the busy pre-election filing period. The workshops for candidates will be offered online only and will be held on Wednesday, October 1. The sessions for PACs
and party committees will be held on Wednesday, October 8, both at the Commission and online as a webinar for those who cannot attend in person.
The reporting sessions will address common filing problems and provide answers to questions committees may have as they prepare to file their October Quarterly, October Monthly and Pre-General election reports, as appropriate. The electronic filing sessions will demonstrate the Commission’s FECFile software and address questions FECFile users may have concerning the software. An advanced FECFile session will be offered for PAC/party in-person attendees only.
Webinar information. All sessions will be available to online attendees, except the advanced PAC/party FECFile session. Additional instructions and technical information will be provided to those who register for a webinar.
In-person attendees. Attendance for the on-site PAC and party workshops is limited to 50 people per reporting workshop and eight people each for FECFile for Beginners and for Advanced FECFile. The workshops will take place at FEC headquarters at 999 E Street NW, Washington, DC. The building is within walking distance of several Metro stations.
