| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4 | Effective July 1, 2022, the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (ICPI) and National Concrete Masonry Association (NCMA) completed a transition pursuant to a unification agreement dated December 1, 2021, to form Concrete Masonry & Hardscapes Association (CMHA). This merger combined the strengths and financial health of the two associations in order to accomplish more for their members as a stronger, more influential single organization focused on the advancement and greater use of manufactured concrete products. Before the merger, both ICPI and NCMA had related political action committees (PACs). The ICPI PAC ("PaverPAC") was a separately segregated fund established by ICPI. PaverPAC operated primarily for the purpose of accepting contributions and making expenditures to influence the selection, nomination, and appointment of public officials and candidates for public office, without regard to political affiliation, who support the goals and objectives of ICPI. National Concrete Masonry Association Political Action Committee (NCMA PAC) existed for the purpose of providing an opportunity for individuals interested in the goals of NCMA to make a contribution to worthy candidates for federal office. NCMA PAC was a voluntary, nonprofit, unincorporated organization that was independent of any political party or candidate. Upon the merger of ICPI and NCMA, PaverPAC and NCMA PAC funds were merged into a single CMHA PAC during the year ended June 30, 2023. |
