Seminar for nonconnected political action committees (2005)
On November 16, 2005, the Commission will hold a one-day seminar for nonconnected committees (i.e., PACs not sponsored by a corporation, union, trade association or incorporated membership organization) at its headquarters at 999 E Street, N.W. in Washington D.C. This seminar is recommended for:
- Treasurers of leadership PACs, partnership PACs and other nonconnected PACs;
- Staff of the above organizations who have responsibility for compliance with federal campaign finance laws;
- Attorneys, accountants and consultants who have clients that are nonconnected PACs or unregistered section 527 organizations (under tax law); and
- Anyone who wants to gain indepth knowledge of federal campaign finance law as it applies to nonconnected PACs and unregistered section 527 organizations.
The seminar will address issues such as fundraising and reporting, as well as the FEC's rules on when section 527 organizations trigger federal reporting requirements. Commissioners and experienced FEC staff will specifically discuss recent changes to the campaign finance law, such as new allocation rules for nonconnected PACs.
