Just FYI - Even if the PAC incorporates for liability reasons, the FEC can go after the Treasurer in his personal (and official) capacity if it believes the Treasurer knowingly and willfully violated the law and/or recklessly failed to perform his duties.
I would suggest that a salary isn’t going to be feasible until/unless the PAC is well established.
Whoever takes on this reponsibility needs to fully understand the implications of doing so. The Treasurer is responsible for making sure the PAC operates in compliance with federal law and isn’t just a bookkeeper.
This thread is very long. How about you post a new thread for FReeper PAC and ping the group? That way we can post resource information, have discussion, make nominations and suggestions, and have a separate record of how we formed FReeper PAC.
PLACEMARK! Read and will reply asap.
I am ruining Sunday dinner. Gotta scoot NOW.
Yup, the treasurer signs his/her name to the FEC 1 form.
The duties
You'll notice the FEC does recognize others can perform the Treasurer's duties.

I agree.
“...a salary isn’t going to be feasible...”
