Business-Industry Political Action Committee

BIPAC, the Political Action Committee of MACNY, was founded in July 1980 to represent the political needs of statewide manufacturers -

• To study and research public issues of significance in order to reach a logical conclusion and take a  position publicly on such issues.
• To contact public officials at all levels to communicate positions in person or in writing.
• To actively support state and local public officials whoe positions are compatible and consistent with those of the membership, by direct communication.
• To interview incumbent officials and candidates for office to determine their political philosophy.
• To solicit funds from individuals, business organizations and private groups in accordance with the provisions of the laws of New York and the United States.
• To actively support the campaigns of those public officials who have consistently demonstrated their belief in encouraging the economic well-being of the manufacturing community.

BIPAC requests your support by participating in policy determination, attending BIPAC and other political events, making contributions and encouraging other concerned manufacturing leaders to support these efforts. To find out how to get involved in BIPAC, click here to send an email.
