BELA Asks: What Are the E&C Issues of a Political Action Committee?

Midterm elections in the U.S. are fast approaching, and E&C leaders who aren’t already grappling with the compliance issues of organizational political activities will do so soon. In this episode, Erica Salmon Byrne, Chief Strategy Officer of Ethisphere and Executive Chair of BELA, answers a question sent directly to the show from an audience member: what are the compliance issues of a political action committee?

This episode stems from the BELA concierge service, in which BELA members can submit questions regarding ethics and compliance and our internal experts will provide an answer plus helpful resources with information. And since there is no competition in compliance, we respond thematically to high-level questions in the BELA Asks series for the benefit of E&C teams everywhere.
