About TAC

The Texas Society of Architects maintains an active government relations program to promote the interests of its membership. Through the Texas Society of Architects Committee (TAC), an unincorporated political action organization allowed under Section 527 of the IRS Code, TAC raises funds for contributions to candidates running for public office. The profession’s only state PAC supports those who demonstrate leadership, responsiveness, good judgment and a willingness to work with architects advocating for safe, beautiful, sustainable environments. 

TAC Leadership

TxA EvP, Jennifer B. Briggs, currently serves as TAC campaign treasurer, and TAC reports to the Texas Ethics Commission. The management of TAC is vested in executive trustees elected by the TxA Board of Directors. Executive trustees coordinate the campaign to raise funds for TAC and determine the political candidates who receive TAC contributions.
