About Leaders of Industry

This membership class is offered to all individual members of ARA in compliance with Federal Election Commission regulations, which stipulate that only individuals (as opposed to corporations) can receive a “partisan communication” or be solicited for fundraising in relation to ARA’s political action committee, ARAPAC. Leaders of Industry Members include any individuals who are employed by a Regular Member and support the purpose and mission of the Association. This class of membership does not carry the right to sit on the Board unless the individual otherwise has such a right under a different class of membership in ARA.

About ARAPAC

The Agricultural Retailers Association Political Action Committee (ARAPAC) is essential to influencing public policy and advocating for the agricultural retailers, distributors, and suppliers. Funds from ARAPAC contributions allow ARA staff and members to attend political events and financially support members of Congress that support our industry.

Contributions to ARAPAC, a federally registered political action committee are voluntary and members, without concern for reprisal, are not obligated to contribute. Contributions are not deductible as a charitable contribution for federal income tax purposes. Federal law requires political action committees to report the name, mailing address, occupation and name of employer for everyone whose personal contributions exceed $200.00 per calendar year. Foreign nationals cannot contribute to ARAPAC. The maximum individual donation to a Federal PAC is $5,000 per calendar year. Federal law stipulates that individuals may not receive reimbursement from a corporation for personal funds contributed to a PAC.
