what are CPAC & LIF contributions used for?
Contributions to the WICPA Political Action Committee (CPAC) are used to help get elected political candidates who understand and support our positions. Informed decisions are made by the WICPA and Public Policy Committee about which candidates to support by closely monitoring the political climate, candidates’ platforms and their track records.
Contributions to the Legislative Involvement Fund (LIF), a conduit, are used with a LIF contributor's consent to help get elected political candidates who understand and support our positions. If you contribute to LIF, you will be contacted for permission to use your funds for a particular candidate, or you may designate your funds to a specific state candidate on the contribution form.
Will I be recognized for my contribution?
Yes, legislative contributors are recognized on the CPAC & LIF Contributors webpage, in Frequency (our member e-newsletter), in our On Balance publication, and on posters displayed at our conferences and in our professional development center.
