The Administrative Fund supports the essential work behind the scenes — including policy development, communications, coalition building, and sustained engagement to ensure SMACNA’s voice is heard where it matters most.

At the recent Leadership Conference, SMACNA began recognizing the initial Founding Members of the new SMAC-AF Leadership Club, an initiative designed to strengthen the association’s advocacy efforts by growing investment in the Administrative Fund.
While SMACPAC supports candidates and elections, the Administrative Fund supports the essential work behind the scenes — including policy development, communications, coalition building, and sustained engagement to ensure SMACNA’s voice is heard where it matters most.
Contributions to SMAC-AF are considered direct, association-supportive business contributions and have generally been deemed tax-deductible*.
Chapters, contractors, and individual members can qualify for Leadership Club recognition at the following levels:
Gold Level
Individuals: $1,000+
Contractors: $5,000+

Contractors: $2,500+
Chapters: $5,000+
Bronze Level

Contractors: $1,000+

There is still time to become a Founding Member and support the long-term strength, credibility, and effectiveness of SMACNA’s advocacy efforts.
