AGC PAC Prior Authorization Campaign

Before the holiday season, you or someone in your company may have received a fax from David Ashinoff, director of AGC PAC & Political Advocacy, with the subject “AGC of America Compliance Needed.”  While many faxes we receive nowadays tend to be scams or spam, please know this fax was neither.  AGC PAC kicked off a year-end prior authorization effort by sending a form via fax to AGC primary contacts at member companies that did not have a prior authorization on file or that had one expiring on Dec. 31, 2013. Because AGC is a corporate-based trade association, AGC PAC is required by federal election regulations to obtain permission before it can communicate with member companies’ administrative and executive personnel.  When members grant authorization, it allows AGC PAC to inform and educate them on how the national PAC is helping to advance construction priorities in Washington, D.C. through its support of pro-construction candidates.  It also allows AGC PAC to ask for or accept support.  All of this, of course, is completely voluntary and not participating will in no way affect an AGC membership. This effort is part of an ongoing prior authorization campaign which is helping to grow the AGC PAC. Please visit agc.org/PriorAuthorization to learn more about prior authorization and to grant your company’s prior authorization online. For more information, please contact David Ashinoff at (202) 547-5013 or ashinoffd@agc.org.
