- NABIP Florida PAC
Associations, like NABIP Florida, are prohibited from directly contributing to candidates, but they may operate a PAC. It allows us to combine resources to support candidates who support our association’s interests and issues. A strong PAC enables us to take a proactive approach, serving as an offensive strategy in our government affairs efforts. It helps strengthen relationships with candidates, complements other advocacy initiatives, and enhances our visibility.
This year our focus has been to increase participation in the NABIP Florida PAC, we’ve worked with NABIP Florida PAC’s Board of Directors to increase visibility and promote the PAC.
