Issue Management Services
Privacy
Personal privacy is one of the most active and contentious issues
being considered in state legislatures.
Given the volume and diversity of the privacy proposals, issue
managers face a dual challenge. First, it is necessary to qualify
the potential threats (and opportunities) posed by privacy legislation.
Second, issue managers may be called upon to implement a strategy
to address significant proposals.
Stateside Associates has been helping clients manage privacy issues
in the states since 1990. We have seen the volume of legislation
grow from a trickle of bills to restrict telemarketing to a torrent
of proposals addressing every aspect of consumer information protection.
Because privacy issues touch on so many substantive arenas - from
health care to financial services to Internet technology - Stateside
Associates established our Privacy Issues Management Team (PIMT)
to ensure the highest level of client service on these issues. Members
of the PIMT are all Stateside® Principals and Managers who oversee
client programs affecting privacy issues. The following individuals
comprise PIMT:
The following are some of the services and projects that PIMT
members have managed for clients:
- Served as program manager for a national technology association's
state government relations activities, including all aspects of
strategic consulting, member communication, groups liaison and
issue monitoring.
- Provided 50-state State
Legislative Monitoring on the full range of privacy issues
affecting Stateside clients, including Political Outlook and follow-up
support by Stateside's Legislative Associates (all of whom have
worked on staff in state legislatures). As part of this service,
Stateside is able to provide our clients with access to this information
via the easy-to-use iStateLink
web portal.

Programs, to help Stateside clients influence the debate on privacy
issues within the national and regional organizations of state
and local officials.
