Surety Guild, the core of our Bail PAC.

The Surety Guild is part of our Bail PAC effort. It is through the Bail PAC that we reach out to those persons who are able to aid and benefit our industry and therefore our own personal bail bond businesses.
The Surety Guild is designed to be the core group and driving force of Bail PAC - where the strength and power resides. The combined efforts of membership will provide resources necessary to battle those at odds with our industry or reach out in warm friendship to move our industry in a more positive direction.
