      FEC to host May 23 webinar for trade associations and their PACs (2018)

FEC Record: OutreachFEC to host May 23 webinar for trade associations and their PACs (2018)April 16, 2018 The Commission will hold a one-day online seminar for trade associations and their political action committees (PACs) on May 23, 2018. Commission staff will conduct several technical workshops on the federal campaign finance laws affecting trade associations
    and their PACs. Workshops are designed for those seeking an introduction to the basic provisions of the law as well as for those more experienced in campaign finance law. Attendees can choose one of two options. Option 1 includes three sessions: a morning session, Basics for Beginners, which will introduce federal campaign finance laws, regulations, and reporting requirements to those new to federal committees; and a two-part
    Trade Association PAC Operations webinar in the afternoon, which will go into much more detail on fundraising and disclosure rules that apply to trade association PACs. Option 2, for those more experienced in trade PACs, includes just the two afternoon
    sessions. Participants will be able to download electronic copies of the workshop materials in advance, and will receive additional instructions and technical information shortly before the event. For more information, and a detailed agenda, please
    visit the trade association webinar web page: https://transition.fec.gov/info/conferences/2018/tradewebinar.shtml. The cost to participate for Option 1 is $80. The cost for Option 2 is $60. Refunds (minus a $20 registration fee) will be made for all
    cancellations received by 5 PM EDT on Friday, May 18; no refund will be made for cancellations received after that date. Register online at: https://www.regonline.com/fec2018tradewebinar_2174526. Please direct all questions about registration and
    fees to Sylvester Management Corporation (Phone: 1-800/246-7277; email: Valerie@sylvestermanagement.com). For other questions call the FEC’s Information Division at 1-800/424-9530 (press 6), or send an email to conferences@fec.gov.
