Have You Contributed to IPAC Yet? IIAI Feature Beginning with the April <strong>2013</strong> issue of Focus, the IIAI began publishing regular updates of contributors to our state political action committee, IPAC. You will note in the accompanying list, an additional six corporate and individuals contributed to IPAC during the past month (the new contributors are listed at the end of each list). To date, IIAI members have contributed $4,870 in personal and corporate contributions to IPAC. This is much appreciated and a good start to the year, but frankly, not enough. If you have not contributed, we need you to do so today! IPAC supports state legislative candidates who share the same beliefs and philosophies as our members, regardless of party. If you have not contributed to IPAC, the IIAI urges you and members of your staff to go to our website, www.bigi.org, print out a form and send it in. IPAC can receive corporate and/or personal contributions -- and no amount is too small. In fact, if we could get just $50 from each of our member agencies per year, we would have well in excess of $50,000 per two year election cycle to contribute. And, this figure is exclusive of personal contributions. The IIAI and our industry need your help -- contribute to IPAC today! And, make sure your name and/or agency’s name is on this list next month. <strong>2013</strong> IPAC Contributors (through April 11, <strong>2013</strong>) Corporate Contributors Dale State Agency Inc.
