RSC Partners, Inc.

Today it became official at the Board of Directors meeting of the Valley Industry and Commerce Association.  RSC Partners will be coming on board to help VICA’s new President, Brendan Huffman, with the transition–providing Public Affairs and Government Relations services.

While in many ways, I (Scott) will be doing my old job on a consulting basis–helping manage the organization’s numerous committees and working with their volunteer leaders to identify issues and develop positions–we’re also bringing some new ideas to the table.

One way we hope to add to the organization’s advocacy efforts is by creating a new issues tracking system–an idea put forward by the new VICA Chairman Bob Scott.  By using an online user interface for an issues database, we hope to be able to identify issues that are relevant to San Fernando Valley Businesses, put ideas in the pipeline for the development of positions for the organization and then follow up on what’s being done.  This will all be in one place on the internet and will be searchable by those who have access. 

If it sounds like a weblog to you, well, that’s because the software to do this will be remarkably the same–we’re just being creative in how that software is put to use to facilitate a discussion among VICA’s volunteer and professional leadership.
