  • Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2010 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2010 2
    VERIZON POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS JANUARY – DECEMBER 2010 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2010 2 A Message from Tom Tauke Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies — from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more — that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 25 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions and corporate political contributions made by Verizon in 2010. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners.

  • With Only a Month to Go, There's Still Time for You to Register for the 38Th Annual FRVTA State Convention, Thursday, Septembe
    AUGUST 2018 With only a month to go, there’s still time for you to register for the 38th Annual FRVTA State Convention, Thursday, September 6 through Sunday, September 9. This year we return to the tropical Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort and Spa in Bonita Springs, just south of Fort Myers. This was also the site of our 2009 Annual Convention and all had a great time! This year we blast into the stratosphere to “Enter the New Frontier.” As the RV Industry grows and grows, we must be prepared to meet new customer expectations, new staffing needs, new legal requirements, new products–a new way of doing business! Learning the latest methods and exchanging fresh ideas and experiences with friends and industry colleagues will supercharge you so you can soar into a new year of selling and making money! To that end, our annual event features the brightest and best minds in the RV Industry to bring FRVTA members up-to-date on the state of our industry and what to expect in the coming months. The convention opens with the “Launch Pad” Welcoming Reception on Thursday evening. This out-of-this-world reception will include a spray paint artist creating stunning space scenes using nothing more than spray paint and newspaper. You’ve got to see this! Afterwards, attendees can triangulate to the “Area 51” Hospitality Room. This is a great place to unwind after a busy day of discovering the “The New Frontier” while relaxing with fellow industry professionals from around the state and country. Who knows, you may meet an alien with new business insights! Friday morning begins the “right stuff” of the convention at which you’ll actually start to “Enter the New Frontier.” Hall of Fame keynote speaker, Jason Hewlett, will deliver a powerfully motivating and inspiring message on keeping “The Promise.” Next up are RVDA President Phil Ingrassia and RVIA President Frank Hugelmeyer who will give their respective RV Industry update.
