Shelly Capurro is leaving Capitol Partners, LLC to join the Nevada Secretary of States office in the Elections Division. Marlene, Tim and I will miss our valued colleague but at the same time wish her all the success in her new position. Shelly was a great addition to our staff and her efforts especially during the 2011 Legislative Session was key to our success in representing our clients in Carson City.
The Nevada Legislature's proposed and enacted legislation have increasingly broad and far-reaching impacts; respected and competent representation at the Nevada state legislature has become critical to the future success of many private and public entities. Likewise, government representation has become a specialty requiring experience, knowledge, tested ability, well-developed personal contacts, and a solid reputation.
Capitol Partners has achieved its status as a premier government relations firm through its use of a team approach to client representation. Team members are kept current on the status of client legislation and, at critical junctures, join in an "all-out" lobbying effort. This team approach enables us to lobby whole committees and the entire membership of the legislature in the critical hours or minutes while legislation is considered.
As a complement to its lobbying efforts, Capitol Partners has developed a detailed legislative monitoring system. Our bill tracking and committee monitoring services are labor intensive, but produce timely and accurate information for client decision-making. Regular reports on the progress of legislation of interest and client initiatives assure ongoing client involvement and informed analysis throughout the legislative process.
