ACA International is hosting a silent auction to support its political action committee—ACPAC— and advocacy efforts through July 31, 2020.
ACPAC is dedicated to amplifying ACA’s voice with key decisionmakers on Capitol Hill.
“It is absolutely imperative that we get our message out to as many policymakers as we can,” said ACA’s Federal Advocacy Director Patrick Russell. "ACPAC helps raise our profile on Capitol Hill and allows us to engage with those who recognize the outsized role the accounts receivable management industry plays within the financial services ecosystem.”
A political action committee (PAC) is a key component in the advocacy toolbox helping to create opportunities for engagement and education with elected officials.
The ACPAC Administrative Fund (Admin Fund) provides discretionary funds to support the operating expenses of ACPAC, including fundraising, compliance, and other administrative costs.
“In years past, ACA has held in-person fundraisers for the Admin Fund. COVID-19 has made that impractical, but our work in Washington, D.C. never stops and if we want to make sure our advocacy has a lasting impact, ACPAC and the Admin Fund need to be strong,” Russell said.
The Admin Fund supports the operating expenses of ACPAC – ensuring that 100% of ACPAC’s funds are focused directly on political advocacy, rather than being spent on overhead.
Members can support ACPAC through bidding in the silent auction or by visiting the Admin Fund website to make a corporate or personal contribution.
The silent auction will run through the end of July. All proceeds go to support the Admin Fund, so try to win one (or more) of these great items!
