“
NAPA PAC is your voice on Capitol Hill, and it completely depends on your generosity and continual support. It allows our diverse group of more than 7,500 professional members to aggregate contributions and present a strong position to key federal lawmakers. It is these efforts that aid in the preservation, and will continue to strengthen, the employer-based retirement savings system. Please help US, let THEM hear US!” Tony Franchimone, Principal, AIF©, PRP©, PPC©, C(k)P NAPA PAC Co-Chair
NAPA PAC has strengthened the NAPA Government Affairs program, which impacts the private, employer-based retirement system served by NAPA members. NAPA PAC helps NAPA spread the word about the effectiveness of tax incentives for employer-based retirement plans as Congress debates tax reform, and federal regulations, such as the proposed changes to the Definition of a Fiduciary standard by both the Department of Labor and the Securities and Exchange Commission. Please note: Only individuals who are NAPA or ASPPA members can contribute. Company contributions are not permitted under federal law.
What is NAPA PAC? Political Action Committees allow groups of citizens with common interests to express their constitutional right to participate in the federal electoral process. PACs channel this involvement in a fully disclosed and financially limited manner. PACs are “hard” money operations, highly regulated and engaged in a very public process. NAPA PAC allows NAPA to pool its members’ financial resources to collectively participate as NAPA’s voice in the election/campaign process. NAPA members contribute to the PAC. The PAC, in turn, makes campaign contributions to candidates for federal office who demonstrate interest in and support for the employer-based retirement system.
NAPA PAC
The Plan Advisor’s Voice
Why does NAPA need a PAC?
Who gets NAPA PAC money?
NAPA PAC strengthens NAPA’s voice. By law, only NAPA PAC, and not NAPA, can make political contributions to candidates. Political contributions merely open the door so NAPA can be heard. NAPA’s ideas and philosophies are good policy. Making sure these ideas and philosophies get a fair and adequate hearing before Members of Congress is why NAPA PAC was created. NAPA members who choose to become members of NAPA PAC through contributing to the PAC help NAPA make sure that Congress understands what is needed to protect Americans’ retirement security.
NAPA PAC contributes to the campaigns of both Democrat and Republican candidates for federal elective office who demonstrate interest in and support for the employer-based retirement system. We are strictly a bipartisan organization, with the needs of the employer-based retirement system coming first.
Who can join NAPA PAC?
How much should I give? NAPA PAC can take as little as $1 and as high as $5,000. We want you to contribute at the level that feels most comfortable to you. Please consider qualifying for one of the following contributor levels with your contribution:
Only NAPA members (credentialed and non-credentialed), their spouses and NAPA and ASPPA employees may join and contribute to NAPA PAC. Only individuals who are NAPA members can contribute. Company contributions are not permitted under federal law.
Not every member can make this commitment. Any and all contributions are enormously appreciated and allow NAPA PAC to help NAPA protect the employerbased retirement system.
