Supporting Audiology Advocacy Through the Theresa M. Clark PAC
The Teresa M. Clark Political Action Committee (PAC) was established in honor of Teresa M. Clark, who tirelessly supported CAA and audiologists through her leadership and advocacy efforts on what is now the CAA Legislative Committee. The PAC continues her legacy by advancing the political and legislative interests of audiologists throughout California. Below are some quick facts about the PAC and how you can help support its mission.What are PAC funds used for?
The Teresa M. Clark Political Action Committee (PAC) raises funds to support legislative and political initiatives that advance the interests of audiologists in California.
Who decides how PAC funds are distributed?
The PAC operates as a separate fund used to make contributions to legislators and political candidates, as recommended by CAA's professional lobbyists. These contributions help ensure that the voice and priorities of California audiologists are represented at the state level. Key legislative priorities include reimbursement rates, protecting our scope of practice, and other issues that impact the profession and the patients we serve.
Who can contribute to our PAC?
Anyone can contribute to CAA's PAC, including members, non-members, audiologists, students, and supporters of the profession. Every contribution helps strengthen our advocacy efforts on behalf of California audiologists and the patients we serve. Because the PAC is a political fund, all donations are tracked separately and must include additional information as required by law.
How can I make a contribution?
Donations to The Teresa M. Clark PAC can be made year-round to support CAA’s legislative activities and advocacy efforts on the CAA website. Every donation, big or small, supports our ongoing advocacy efforts for audiology in California.
We're pleased to share that over $2,000 in PAC donations were raised at the 2025 CAA Annual Conference!
