Effective January 1, the IAFF has rolled out a new FIREPAC donor club level — the Chairman's Council — for members who contribute $750 or more per calendar year.

"For the past several years, we have had members contributing more than $750 a year who were recognized at the FIREPAC Leadership Trust level ($500)," says IAFF General President Harold Schaitberger. "Because of this, we created a new level to give recognition to those members who have gone the extra mile in contributing to FIREPAC."

Members who contribute at the Chairman's Council level will receive a new custom-designed FIREPAC pin, along with a gold-and-black FIREPAC wind shirt.

"Several years ago, we eliminated FIREPAC gifts because of the economy and the fact that we were putting the money into campaign activities," explains Schaitberger. "However, in establishing this new level, we believe it's appropriate to bring back a gift for 2011 to thank those members who have consistently contributed at the top end of our FIREPAC program."

IAFF members interested in joining the Chairman's Council and who already participate in the FIREPAC Check-Off program through their local need to notify their local in writing to increase the level of giving.

IAFF members interested in joining the Chairman's Council and who contribute to FIREPAC via the recurring online deduction program must contact the IAFF Political Action Department at (202) 824-1582 to change donor levels.
