NATM Political Action Committee Updating Records for 2021 By Meghan Ryan, NATM Assistant Director NATM is updating its records for 2021 and wants to ensure that the Association has a prior approval form for all interested members. In order to learn more about NATM’s Political Action Committee, NATM needs to have a solicitation agreement form on file for you. The form, emailed by an NATM staff member upon request or found on the Members Only Section of the NATM website, must be signed by you or the appropriate representative from your company in order to receive information about NATM’s Political Action Committee, also known as the NATM PAC. To access the Members Only section of the NATM website, go to www.NATM.com and click ‘log in’ in the top right corner of the page. The NATM PAC was established in 2010 and has since been active in each congressional election. The NATM PAC is an effective tool in helping NATM educate political leaders on the Association’s priorities and NATM’s great work improving the safety of the industry and nation.
Federal Law requires the NATM Political Action Committee to obtain written permission from you before you or your company can participate in the PAC. If you wish to participate in the NATM PAC, you must first authorize NATM to communicate with you regarding the PAC and NATM’s political activity, including periodic solicitations for contributions. Approval does not obligate you to contribute; however, it does allow NATM to keep you informed about the PAC’s activities. Participation in the NATM PAC is voluntary, and any decision to not contribute will in no way reflect adversely on anyone being solicited. To complete the PAC solicitation agreement form granting NATM permission to solicit and to learn more about NATM’s efforts to engage in the political process visit the Members Only side of the NATM website, or, for more information, contact Meghan Ryan, NATM Assistant Director, at Meghan.Ryan@natm.com.
Since the inception of the NATM PAC, 45 individuals have contributed $83,350 to the NATM PAC, and the PAC has contributed to the campaigns of 29 Members of Congress.
