Subject: *2006 Workshops on Campaign Financing Requirements
*
The staff of the State Elections Enforcement Commission is pleased to 
announce that it
will again be conducting workshops on the requirements of the Campaign 
Finance Laws. These
workshops will be directed towards candidates and committees 
participating in the November 7,
2006 election. The workshops will be held at the following dates and 
locations:
*Thursday, July 13, 2006, Legislative Office Building in Hartford, Room 2C *
*Tuesday, July 18, 2006, Legislative Office Building in Hartford, Room 2C*

The role of campaign treasurer is an */extremely important/* one in the 
campaign.
Treasurers are responsible for ensuring that campaign funds received by 
the committee are from
permissible sources and within permissible limits, and that disclosure 
of contributions and
expenditures are made completely and timely. If you are a treasurer of a 
candidate for a
statewide office, the General Assembly, or Judge of Probate, your 
attendance at one of these
workshops is essential. Candidates, campaign chairpersons, and campaign 
workers are also
encouraged and welcome to attend.

* *
*If you have served as a treasurer in the past, you should still attend. 
The laws were *
*changed since the last campaign, and our seminar will explain those 
changes.
*
The State Elections Enforcement Commission is the only state agency 
responsible for
enforcement of the campaign finance laws, and therefore monitors 
compliance with the
requirements. Our philosophy is to prevent problems before they occur. 
Our workshops provide
you with a detailed explanation of your duties, and are the best 
*/free/* advice that you will receive
during the campaign. I encourage you to take advantage of this 
opportunity by attending one of
these workshops. If however, you are unable to attend, the information 
presented will be
available on the State Elections Enforcement Commission website.

Our formal presentation will begin at */7:00 p.m/*., be approximately 
one hour in length, and
will be followed by a question and answer period. We look forward to 
seeing you at the
workshop. If you have any questions during the campaign, you may contact 
Dara Haqq or
Dianna Kulmacz, Associate Account Examiners at the Commission at (860) 
566-1776 or at
