The New Jersey Speech Language Pathology and Audiology PAC funds have allowed NJSHA to support New Jersey legislators who are sensitive to your issues related to our fields and the people we serve. In order to continue our important work, we ask for your financial support.
Please consider donating $20 or more to the NJ SLP & Audiology PAC. If everyone donated just $10, our PAC would be in a very strong position for advocating on our priorities.
With your support, NJSHA’s voice can be very loud and make a difference to our professions and those we serve. Thank you for your support!

Frequently Asked Questions About the New Jersey Speech Language Pathology & Audiology PAC
What is a political action committee?
A state political action committee (PAC) refers to a committee organized by like-minded people for the purpose of raising and spending money in support of state legislative and gubernatorial candidates that have demonstrated interest in issues important to speech-language pathologists and audiologists and the people they serve. Money raised come from members’ voluntary contributions.
What is the PAC money used for?
Funds enable NJSHA to have access to state elected officials who demonstrate interest in the professions of audiology and speech-language pathology. The NJSLP & Audiology PAC works to support legislators who currently serve on committees with jurisdiction over healthcare and education issues, hold positions of leadership in the Assembly or Senate, and/or have previously supported issues identified as important to NJSHA.
How is the NJ SLP & Audiology PAC funded?
It is funded through voluntary individual contributions from NJSHA members and friends. NJ regulations prevent NJSHA from contributing directly to its own PAC, UNLESS there are no shared board members. This means we need voluntary donations (separate from NJSHA dues) to fund the PAC.
What is a good amount to give to NJ SLP & Audiology PAC?
Even an annual donation of $20 goes a long way to supporting your PAC. Your donation helps NJSHA advocate and make a greater impact on state legislative issues that affect our professions.
Are donations to the PAC tax deductible?
No. Contributions are not tax deductible on your federal or state income taxes.
Why do NJSHA Members need a PAC?
The NJSHA supports NJSHA’s ability to advocate and be proactive for our speech pathology and audiology professions and members. The PAC enables us to interact with state lawmakers who can support the professions and the work we do.
How does the NJ SLP & Audiology PAC help me as a professional?
Public policies and regulations affect our professions and the way we serve our patients, clients, and students. Through the PAC, NJSHA’s advocacy team can educate, build, and strengthen relationships with key decision-makers who support issues important to our professions. By investing in the PAC, you’re joining your colleagues in creating a statewide voice for our professions.
