Member Action Needed on PAC Contribution Directive

The new SEC “Pay to Play” Rule went into effect on March 14. Although this new Rule affects only some NAIFA members, NAIFA has had to adjust its IFAPAC fundraising procedures for all NAIFA members.

Sharing your IFAPAC contribution with both NAIFA-Florida IFAPAC and your NAIFA IFAPAC is in the best interests of our advocacy program. Accordingly, it is imperative that you take action to make sure your contribution is shared with NAIFA-Florida PAC – if your company and/or broker-dealer permits the contribution sharing. If you do nothing and do not fill out a directive, by default, all of your PAC contributions will stay with NAIFA-IFAPAC and will only be used for federal candidates. This will seriously impact our ability to continue with our strong advocacy program in Florida.

ALL NAIFA members must complete the Directive, even if you believe the new SEC Rule does not affect you.

Here’s what you must do:

1. Contact your company and/or broker-dealer compliance office(s) to find out if you may contribute to both your state association IFAPAC and the national IFAPAC.

2. Complete the IFAPAC Directive:
