Annual dues dollars are not used to fund or support the College鈥檚 political activities. All political efforts are financed through voluntary, personal contributions from 番茄社区appPA members made directly to the 番茄社区appPA-SurgeonsPAC. A small portion of dues receipts, typically 3 to 5 percent, are retained by the 番茄社区appPA to finance the legislative advocacy program, and as a result, are not deductible from federal income taxes as a business expense. Additional information is listed on the annual dues statement.
