What do we do?
The state Political Action Committee (PAC) is responsible for the HGEA legislative program. Legislative
measures supporting the wants and needs of the union membership are solicited from the general membership
at every opportunity throughout the year, ranging from the deliberations of the General Assembly, to
the distribution of input forms to the members. These proposed measures are then screened by the state
PAC and sent to the Board with recommendations for approval. The executive director and staff are responsible
for lobbying at legislatures and with the governor & county mayors to enact the union’s legislative
package.
