Connected PACs in 2019 — Understanding PAC
Compliance and Communication Issues

REGISTER   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN     MEET YOUR TRAINER     WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Did you know that when PACs are connected to organizations, different solicitation and communication rules apply?

Not only are the rules different, some activities are reserved only for your PAC. If your organization engages in these same activities, you violate FEC rules and can face devastating fines. Plus, solicitation and communication methods that are permissible for one PAC may not be permissible for your organization to use. Different disclaimers and notices apply in addition to some other special considerations.

From fundraising to websites, endorsements, events and press releases, here’s how to know what is and isn’t permitted so you can increase your PAC’s success—without increasing your risk of FEC violations.
