IMPACT is a non-partisan political action committee aimed at the retention and election of pro-medicine representatives. The IMPACT Board consists of 9 physician members, one from each Congressional District. Additionally, there is one TMA Alliance member, one Young Physician Section representative, and a resident and student member. The Board is responsible for raising funds and they meet several times a year to review and approve campaign contribution requests. Board members often attend campaign fundraisers and deliver IMPACT contribution checks. The Board is advised by TMA lobbyists regarding how a legislator votes on Capitol Hill and how supportive they are of healthcare issues. IMPACT contributions are primarily targeted to friends on important committees and, to a lesser degree, to those in leadership roles.
