AWO PAC Permission to Solicit Form
Dear AWO Member: Federal Election Commission (FEC) regulations require that AWO receive permission from you authorizing contact concerning contributions to the AWO PAC. Written “permission to solicit” must be obtained by AWO for each calendar year. A company may give authorization for multiple years at one time and may revoke its authorization at any time. FEC regulations also state that a company may not approve solicitations by more than one trade association for the same calendar year. Please complete and submit this form as soon as possible. Thank you! ____ I, as the designated representative of my company, enroll my company in the AWO PAC for the years indicated below. I
certify that my company has approved solicitation of individuals by the AWO PAC only and has not authorized solicitation by any other trade association. As a member of AWO PAC, our company authorizes AWO PAC to receive voluntary contributions from the company’s executive, administrative and managerial personnel. I understand that AWO PAC will not solicit employees of the company without my express permission and that I may withdraw my authorization of AWO PAC at any time.
____ I prefer not to enroll my company in the AWO PAC and do not authorize them as an eligible PAC for my company’s
employee contributions. ____ I cannot enroll my company in the AWO PAC as I have already authorized another Federal trade association PAC.
AWO will not directly contact your employees for contributions.
Please fax or mail your completed PTS form to: AWO PAC
