As you know very important federal elections will be taking place in the fall and wholesaler-distributors and their chief legal officers and senior executives need to be aware of the limitations on a corporation’s participation in the political process. Topics discussed are limited to federal election laws and regulations applicable to corporations. Generally, the Federal Election Campaign Act prohibits corporations from using general treasury funds to make contributions to, or expenditures on behalf of, candidates for federal office or their campaign committees. Despite this broad prohibition, there are ways for a corporation and its employees to get involved in the election process. The presentation discusses these methods and provides resource information to assist senior executives in guiding the wholesaler-distributor’s activities.
