Is the ASRT-PAC Funded From ASRT Member Dues?
No. The ASRT can use member dues for advocacy efforts, such as lobbying, but cannot use member dues to contribute to candidates’ campaigns. The ASRT helps by underwriting the administrative costs of the political action committee, but all funds that are donated for political campaigns must come from individuals. Federal regulations prohibit the ASRT-PAC from seeking donations outside of ASRT’s membership. Therefore, the ASRT-PAC counts on donations from ASRT members.
