As part of this year’s Your Move, REC theme, we are launching the 2026 REC PAC Fundraiser as a friendly, participation-based challenge that runs from February through our Annual Celebration on March 27. Alongside this kickoff, we also want to share an important update about how the REC PAC operates — with clarity, transparency, and accountability.
Your Move, REC — A Two-Act PAC Challenge
Act 1: Sweeten the Pot -- February 17
We’ll begin with a sweetheart-themed kickoff event on February 17 from 5:30 - 7:30 PM — a fun, social evening with dessert, drinks and an easy way to make your first PAC contribution. This event introduces the game, the teams and the spirit of the campaign. It launches the effort, but it does not determine the outcome.
Act 2: The Game Is On (February → March 27)
From there, our membership categories will compete based on participation percentage, not dollar totals:
Founding/Sustaining Members
Full Members
Corporate Associates
Young Leaders
Every donation counts equally toward participation, ensuring a fair and inclusive competition. Progress will be shared visually using the same game-board theme as our Annual Celebration — no public dollar amounts, just movement, momentum and bragging rights.
New PAC Board Policies & Procedures
In conjunction with this year’s PAC effort, the REC PAC Board has formally adopted updated Board Policies & Procedures to ensure our political engagement is conducted ethically, transparently and in full compliance with state law.
These policies outline:
How PAC decisions are made and approved
Voting thresholds and governance standards
Ethical guidelines and legal compliance requirements
How candidate input and member feedback are incorporated
REC-PAC does not participate in partisan activity or primary elections. Its sole purpose is to support responsible growth, economic vitality and good governance in our region through a thoughtful and principled process.
We believe that pairing a transparent governance framework with broad-based participation makes the REC PAC stronger and more effective.
The board is set. The game is about to begin.
Join our fundraiser on February 17, 5:30 - 7:30 PM, at the home of Jeff Davis -- make your donation and a calendar invite with Jeff's address will be sent your way.
