Congratulations and thank you for your support of ACEC/PAC in 2016. Your generosity this past year enabled us to hit a HUGE milestone and exceed the Strategic Goal of $1 million in a calendar year for the first time in the history of the PAC. In addition to setting an all-time record for money raised, 2016 set records for total PAC contributors, states that made their ACEC/PAC goal, and total PAC contributions to congressional candidates. As you read through this year’s Annual Report, I hope you share our pride in the impact that ACEC/PAC had and continues to have, on the political process. The report provides information on how your PAC contributions were invested, highlights key legislative accomplishments, shows how ACEC/PAC compares with other industry PACs, and -- most importantly -- spotlights your personal contribution to the fundraising effort. I am stepping down as PAC Chairman this year, but my commitment to help grow and support ACEC/PAC remains stronger than ever. I urge you to also continue your involvement and join me in supporting incoming Chair Charlie Gozdziewski as we look to have another record year in 2017. Again, thank you for your active support of ACEC/PAC and for being a part of ACEC/PAC’s record setting year. Let’s make 2017 even better. Sincerely, Christopher Robertson Shannon and Wilson 2016 ACEC/PAC National Chairman 1 A Message from the 2017 ACEC/PAC Chairman Looking Ahead: Building on 2016 As the incoming ACEC/PAC Chairman I first want to thank Chris Robertson for his excellent leadership these past two years and add my own congratulations to you and the other ACEC/PAC donors for their central role in last year’s record setting effort. I see 2017 as our chance to build upon our success in 2016. With a new Congress and new Administration in place, 2017 presents ACEC members with many opportunities in the year ahead, but also many challenges. That’s why your ongoing participation in ACEC/PAC is so important, and why I urge you to renew your support early in the year. As always our goal remains to help elect pro-business men and women from both political parties to Congress who understand the importance -- and limits -- of the government’s role in engineering business issues, including tax and regulatory reform, energy initiatives, and, of course, the need for robust infrastructure investment. Once more, thank you for your involvement in ACEC/PAC. Please let us know your ideas on how we can make ACEC/PAC even better in 2017, and please do not hesitate to contact me or the ACEC/PAC staff if you have any questions about the Annual Report or ACEC/PAC in general. Sincerely, Bragging Rights! Organization 2016 PAC Receipts Charlie Gozdziewski Hardesty & Hanover 2017 ACEC/PAC National Chairman 2 ACEC/PAC 2016 States Making Goal Each state is assigned a fundraising goal based on membership strength and the strategic goal of raising $1 million annually. PAC Champions, appointed by their state, lead the charge towards meeting this goal. States approach this goal in a variety of ways, through special events, sweepstakes and peer-to-peer fundraising. In 2016, a record-breaking 41 states met this fundraising goal, setting an overall fundraising record of $1,010,433! Among some of the more notable nationwide fundraising accomplishments: • ACEC/Illinois raised $75,200, a new record amount collected by a single state in a single year • ACEC/Indiana was the first state to make its goal in 2016 and kept raising funds to reach an impressive 183 percent of goal • New Hampshire hit its target for the first time • Ohio made its goal for the first time since 2006, and Oklahoma made its goal for the first time since 2012 Congratulations! • Alabama • Idaho • Michigan • North Dakota • Virginia • Alaska • Illinois • Montana • Ohio • Washington • Arizona • Indiana • Nebraska • Oklahoma • West Virginia • Arkansas • Iowa • Nevada • Oregon • Wisconsin • Connecticut • Kansas • New Hampshire • Pennsylvania • Wyoming • Delaware • Kentucky • New Jersey • South Carolina • Florida • Maryland • New Mexico • South Dakota • Georgia • Massachusetts • New York • Tennessee • Hawaii • Metro Washington • North Carolina • Utah 3 How Your Support Adds Up Shout Out: Kimley- Horn employees contributed $26,140 in 2016 -the largest total receipts from any firm Growing the Base: There were 990 new contributors in 2016, whom contributed a total of $161,433 Congressman Don Bacon (R-NE) (fifth from left) with ACEC/NE Congressman Larry Buschon (R-IN) (fifth from left) with members ACEC/IN members 4 Key Legislative Wins from the 114th Congress Congresswoman Martha Roby (R-AL) (fourth from left) with Congressman Mike Coffman (R-CO) (center) ACEC/AL members with ACEC/CO members Passage of WRDA, which authorizes over $11 billion for new Corps of Engineers water projects, assistance for Flint, Michigan and other communities impacted by lead in the drinking water, assistance for rural communities and drought relief for California; Passage of the FAST Act, a five-year, $305 billion surface transportation program that increases investment, streamlines regulations to move projects forward, and promotes contracting out by state DOTs; Defeated efforts to abolish QBS and mandate insourcing of certain engineering services; Secured new policies to expand energy markets, including lifting the ban on oil exports and new programs to enhance the security and resilience of the electrical grid; Extended critical business tax provisions, including the R&D tax credit, expensing and depreciation incentives, and tax credits to promote renewable energy markets; Promoted international business opportunities through a four-year reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank, and language in pending House appropriations legislation to encourage USAID to do more to engage American engineering firms to support agency- funded projects in developing countries; Secured House and Senate passage of comprehensive energy bills, which sets the stage for action early in 2017; Actively engaged on the regulatory front, including securing changes to the new “sick time” rule that eased reporting requirements, as well as advancing congressional legislation to limit the scope of the so-called “blacklisting” rule and the new FLSA salary threshold; Prohibited the use of reverse auctions for military construction design-build projects. 5 ACEC/PAC 2016 Major Donors Capitol Club $5,000 contribution per calendar year Anthony Bartolomeo, PA David Bills, HI John Carrato, IL Ralph Christie, CO Tom Collins, IL Philip Houser, IL Nicholas Masucci, NJ Jeffery McBride, MD Terry Neimeyer, MD Sergio Pecori, IL Kenneth Smith, LA Gary Raba, TX Jason Webber, FL Jerry Wolverton, GA 6 ACEC/PAC 2016 Major Donors Chairman's Club $2,500* contribution per calendar year Reza Abree, GA Edwin Friedrichs, TX Carlos Penin, FL Edmond Alizadeh, MO Charles Geer, FL Chuck Pennoni, PA Joseph Amato, NY Charles Gozdziewski, NY James Porter, ID Philip Beer, IN Ralph Guida, CA Milo Riverso, NY Christopher Borton, PA Gregory Henneke, IN Christopher Robertson, WA William Bow, HI David Huelskamp, CO Darrell Rochester, GA John Brand, IN Ralph Junius, LA Rajan Sheth, WI Christopher Burke, IL James Longest, IN Mitch Simpler, NY Janice Burnett, AZ Thomas Longest, IN Jay Simson, NY W.

  • Introduction Lobbying and Advocacy
    Introduction This Legislative Handbook is designed to provide guidance and assistance to representatives of the New Jersey Association of Mental Health and Addiction Agencies, Inc. (NJAMHAA) member organizations who participate in legislative activities. Specifically, the Legislative Handbook presents the Association’s legislative policy and procedures, simplifies the complexities of the legislative process, and provides an orientation to grassroots lobbying for all members. On behalf of its members, NJAMHAA meets with legislators, policy makers and business leaders in order to influence legislative, regulatory and funding decisions in ways that have the most positive outcome on its members. Through increased visibility and a stronger presence, NJAMHAA ensures that members’ concerns are expressed and that their interests are represented. This allows members the peace of mind of knowing that legislative or regulatory changes that are made will occur with their views expressed. NJAMHAA is committed to facilitating meaningful exchange both within the Association and with other industry stakeholders to achieve mutual advocacy. While NJAMHAA aggressively lobbies state and federal legislators on behalf of its members, these lawmakers need to hear from you, their local constituents, those who elect them. The louder and stronger the voice, the more impact that it has on all who hear it. Please use and refer back to this valuable resource to familiarize yourself with legislative advocacy procedures and to contact key legislators to collectively join other NJAMHAA members in advancing the cause for an improved community behavioral health system. Lobbying and Advocacy Oftentimes, the words “lobbying” and “advocacy” are used interchangeably. The legal definition of lobbying usually involves attempting to influence legislation.
