Kansas Bankers Association BankPAC is the political action committee of the Kansas Bankers Association (KBA). KBA
BankPAC supports candidates for political office who share and support the views of Kansas bankers. KBA has two
accounts – BankPAC Federal and BankPAC State. BankPAC Federal supports candidates for federal offices while
BankPAC State supports candidates for state office. A candidate’s commitment to promoting the interests of KBA
members and a responsive relationship with the banking and financial services industry are primary considerations when
deciding which candidates will receive KBA BankPAC contributions.

Federal BankPAC Contributions require Prior Authorization Form

While KBA's BankPAC State account can receive both corporate and personal contributions at any time, prior written
authorization is required from each corporate member before KBA can solicit or accept personal contributions for KBA's
BankPAC Federal account. If your corporation chooses to authorize KBA's BankPAC Federal then please also consider
giving KBA the authority to solicit for multiple years in advance. Simply complete the form below and provide your
signature authorizing KBA to continue soliciting and receiving contributions from your corporation's officers and
employees in the years to come.

Special Note: Please note that your corporation can only authorize one trade association federal PAC per calendar year
for solicitation of officers and employees for Federal PAC contributions.

Please complete the form, signing for each year for which you are providing authorization, and promptly fax or mail the
completed form to the number/address shown below.
