Seminar for nonconnected political action committees (April 2010)
On April 7, 2010, 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, NW, in Washington, DC. 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;
and
- Anyone who wants to gain
in-depth knowledge of federal
campaign finance laws, including
the recently enacted lobbyist
bundling and disclosure rules, as
they apply to leadership PACs
and other types of nonconnected
committees.
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. Experienced FEC staff will specifically discuss recent changes to the campaign finance law, as well as the rules specific to leadership PACs and partnership PACs.
The registration fee for this seminar is $100 per attendee. Payment by credit card is required prior to the seminar. A full refund will be made for all cancellations received before 5 p.m. EDT on April 2.
