FruitPac
FruitPAC is the California Fresh Fruit Association’s Political Action Committee. The group primarily raises funds through annual activities – the Harvest Event in the fall, the Annual Meeting in the spring and the positive check-off program, which allows Association members to authorize up to eight percent of their membership dues for political expenditures.
Under the direction and leadership of the FruitPAC Board of Directors, all of the funds raised from these sources are used to make contributions to political candidates and incumbents at the state and federal levels. The current members of the FruitPAC Board of Directors are:
