IHCA PAC

HCA's Political Action Committee (PAC) is the political component of the Illinois Health Care Association.

Tasked with supporting and promoting candidates for local and statewide, non-federal, offices, the success of the IHCA PAC is directly correlated to our ability to have a positive impact on the political world and how it intersects with long term care. To that end, the IHCA PAC closely monitors the state's political climate and actively engages in fundraising activities to capture the necessary funds to support those candidates who support the quality long term care that IHCA members provide.

As with the education, communication/support, legislative and regulatory efforts of IHCA, the IHCA PAC is member driven and member focused.

The ultimate strength of an association is found in its members. While direct contributions and donations fund the association's ability to participate in a meaningful way for the entire profession, the importance of direct member grassroots efforts cannot be overstated. Whether it be through hosting a legislator for a facility visit and meet and greet, volunteering to work in a candidate phone bank, walking precincts for petition signatures or any of the myriad activities surrounding the election process, local participation is key to development of lasting political connections individually and for the association alike.

The IHCA Grassroots Manual highlight how to engage locally in the political arena and helps enable us to bring YOUR personal approaches to bear when it matters most to the long term care profession.

In addition to participating through campaign activities, IHCA encourages members to participate locally in a financial way. As with campaign activities, your relationship with your local elected officials can be brought to bear in assisting IHCA in our political goals while keeping the power in your hands!

If you need assistance identifying your local officials, use this Legislator Lookup feature. 

There are a number of ways you can participate in the political process financially by identifying local opportunities to directly donate to legislators in your area.

Also, IHCA always has sponsorship and fundraising opportunities, including the IHCA Baseball Outing Fundraiser, the Annual IHCA Golf Outing the Annual Convention & Expo, our IHCA Holgeir Oksenvad 5K Run/Walk and many other exciting opportunities throughout the year. 

Any direct contributions to the IHCA PAC are always welcomed and encouraged! 

Keep in mind, state law has strict limits on how much you can give within a designated period of time. A general set of guidelines can be accessed here. Be sure to follow all relevant rules and regulations in your contributions to the IHCA PAC.
