Memo: 2016 Invitation to Join Chemical Industry Council of California (CICC)

Dear Prospective Member:

We sincerely appreciate your expression of interest in the Chemical Industry Council

of California www.cicc.org and we invite you to take a closer look at the benefits

membership in CICC can provide. In addition to CICC’s primary mission of legislative

and regulatory advocacy in the California statehouse and regulatory agencies, we are

actively engaged with the California Office of Emergency Services, U.S. Department of

Homeland Security (DHS), the FBI, and InfraGard Chapters across the state in a

proactive effort to emphasize protection of critical infrastructure, and compliance with

the federal Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorist Standard (CFATS).

On the following pages you will find a brief description of CICC and its mission, the

benefits of membership, a list of member companies and the leaders within the

organization. A new member application form and an annual membership dues

calculation worksheet are also included for your review.

Please note that no amount of CICC membership dues is used to support or oppose

political parties, candidates or ballot initiatives. CICC does, however, sponsor a

separate stand-alone Political Action Committee (PAC) registered with the California

Secretary of State. Participation with The Good Chemistry PAC as it is known is entirely

voluntary and is not a requirement for membership in CICC. Included in the packet

for your additional consideration is a letter describing CICC’s Good Chemistry PAC.

CICC members meet remotely twice a month via GoToMeeting to discuss pending

legislative and regulatory activities as well as safety & security issues. The

membership also assembles each year in Sacramento for 2-days of very active face-

to-face meetings with key legislators and regulators, and to conduct our annual

meeting. The CICC website www.cicc.org is the key to our member communication,

and we would be pleased to provide you with Guest access to the site as well as our

twice monthly internet based web-meetings. Please contact either of us with your

questions – we would be delighted to speak with you and help in any way we can.

Thank you again for your interest in CICC, John R. Ulrich Thomas R. Jacob Executive Director Sr. Consultant & Lobbyist Chemical Industry Council of CA Chemical Industry Council of CA 916-989-9692 916-990-1195 jrulrich@comcast.net Thomas.R.Jacob@gmail.com

“Good Chemistry PAC” A Political Action Committee of the Chemical Industry Council of California

MEMORANDUM – January 01, 2016

TO: Executive Contacts

FROM: Good Chemistry PAC Steering Committee

Those of us who have worked in the chemical industry have for years witnessed the increasing legislative

and political pressures on our business. Whether your company manufactures or distributes chemicals in

California or simply markets and sells products in-state, you’ve experienced firsthand the competitive

public policy issues that continue to drive up the costs of doing business in California.

To support California candidates for state elective office, who value scientific approaches to legislation

and regulation, the Board of Directors established a political action committee dubbed the Good

Chemistry PAC. Under California law, corporations may contribute directly to a PAC. Company

contributions to the Good Chemistry PAC are entirely voluntary and are not tax deductible. Good

Chemistry PAC retains the services of J. Richard Eichman, CPA, an outside professional accounting firm,

to serve as PAC Treasurer. The firm is charged with conducting all monetary transactions and filing

quarterly reports with the California Secretary of State as required by state law. Companies contributing

to Good Chemistry PAC generally have no additional reporting requirement as long as their aggregate

contributions to state and local elections, including ballot initiatives, are less than $10,000 per year.

Company contributions to Good Chemistry PAC are separate and apart from membership dues. No

portion of annual membership dues is used to support candidates or ballot measures.

The Steering Committee, comprised of the CICC Executive Committee members and other contributors

invites you to join them in the Good Chemistry PAC. The Committee asks you, on behalf of your

company to consider a separate corporate PAC contribution. PLEASE PLEDGE TODAY – DO NOT

SEND A CHECK – THE PAC WILL INVOICE YOU IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR PLEDGE.

Yes, my company will participate in the Good Chemistry PAC (circle one)
