AGC PAC Sets Goals, Approves Contributions and Makes Changes at March 21 Meeting

Last week, AGC PAC launched the “Victory 2012: Each One, Reach One” campaign, which encourages each AGC PAC contributor to reach out to enlist new contributors for the AGC PAC. The initiative will help AGC PAC meet its goal of $1.2 million in contributions during the 2012 election cycle.  The AGC PAC raised nearly $200,000 towards that goal. PAC co-chair Doug Pruitt presided over the PAC Contributions subcommittee where he recognized Bill B. Armstrong, Jr. (Armstrong Industries, LLC, Roswell, N.M.) for 25 years as a 535 Club Member, and the following 30-year 535 Club Members:

• Zack T. Burkett, III, Zack Burkett Co, Graham, Texas

• Robert P. Elsperman, Tarlton Corporation, St. Louis, Mo.

• William G. Heffner, AGG Rok Materials, Grove City, Ohio

The meeting also approved more than $200,000 in contributions to candidates across the country. Members reaffirmed the importance of PAC contributors delivering PAC checks directly to candidates.  The committee talked about the need to increase PAC contributions during the 2012 election cycle and decided unanimously to increase the required contribution for the 535 club from $1,000 to $1,500, beginning January 1, 2012.
