HAPAC
Health Agents Political Action Committee
Health Agents PAC is the Louisiana association's newly established PAC. HAPAC will provide campaign contributions to candidates running for state legislative positions, governor and insurance commissioner. Membership into HAPAC is an annual contribution of $100. While donations of any amount are accepted, a minimum of $100 donation earns you full membership with right to vote on the PAC Board of Directors.
Getting things done requires commitment on the state and national level. Because the national PAC is limited to contributing to national races, the state PAC was established. PAC contributions gain us access to the people who have the most impact on our industry.
