We know that making personal contributions (hard dollars) is a
sacrifice. We take that sacrifice very seriously by only spending
your hard earned dollars where necessary. The truth is, we need
hard dollars to win. In order to compete with the insurance
lobbyists, one of the most formidable opponents in Pennsylvania
politics, we need hard dollars to support those elected officials
who believe in you and support you. If you don’t want to make
a lump sum contribution you can make monthly contributions
which may be easier or more convenient for you.
Here are the club levels:
President’s Club
Liberty Club
Capitol Club
Keystone Club
Century Club
$2,500+
$1,000-$2,499
$500-$999
$200-$499

PADPAC
As we begin the journey to achieve your legislative and
regulatory goals this session we all need to work together to
make them happen. The PDA team, working together, can
achieve great things. 2019 can be the year that one of PDA’s
biggest priorities Assignment of Benefits becomes the law of
the land.
One of the best ways to do your part on the road to success is
to become a PADPAC member and a PADPAC contributor. By
contributing to PADPAC you are directly making a significant
and positive impact in your professional life and in your
professional organization-PDA.
Just as campaign contributions are the life blood of a political
campaign so is a PADPAC contribution to your PAC. Your valued
contributions are what we use to impact the electoral
landscape for the benefit of you and your patients.
When you contribute to your PAC please pay with your personal
check or credit card because if you pay via a corporate card or
check it limits PDA’s strategic flexibility.
