GIPAC

The IGIA has established the Green Industry Political Action Committee (GIPAC), which purpose is to solicit and contribute voluntary funds to candidates for state and federal elective offices.

Each year, the IGIA GIPAC committee hosts “Fun-Raisers” such as golf outings, dinners and receptions that are deposited in the PAC fund. Past events include GIPAC golf outing, “Night at the Races” at Fairmount Race Park in Collinsville and a Mid Am Dinner and Reception featuring former IL Governor Jim Edgar.

The goal for every election cycle (2 years) is to raise $30,000. The IGIA’s lobbyist and Public Policy Committee authorizes political contribution of various amounts to candidates that are supportive of the Illinois green industry.
