As an association member, you may wonder why you need to be prior approved before the association's PAC (Political Action Committee) can solicit donations from you. The answer lies in the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) and related laws that govern the activities of political action committees.

Under FECA, association PACs must obtain prior approval from their sponsoring organization before soliciting contributions from individuals, corporations, or other organizations. This approval helps to ensure that the PAC's fundraising activities are consistent with the goals and values of the association, and that they are conducted in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

As an association member, your prior approval is necessary to ensure that your contributions to the PAC are aligned with the goals and values of the association that you represent. This approval process also helps to ensure that your contributions are made in compliance with all applicable campaign finance laws, including limits on the amount of money that can be contributed by individuals and organizations.

Furthermore, the prior approval process helps to promote transparency and accountability in the PAC's fundraising activities. By obtaining approval from association members before soliciting donations, the PAC can demonstrate that it is operating in a responsible and ethical manner, and that it is committed to ensuring that all fundraising activities are conducted in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

In summary, your prior approval is necessary to ensure that the association's PAC operates in a manner consistent with the interests of the association and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. By obtaining your approval before soliciting donations, the PAC can promote transparency and accountability in its fundraising activities, and demonstrate its commitment to responsible and ethical conduct.
