Virginia Capitol Connections 2011 A Message from Dr. David L. Bailey, Jr., President For thirty years, we have developed and maintained effective working relationships with legislators and executive branch elected and appointed officials on all sides of the political spectrum. Our lobbyists/government affairs staff members are highly-competent individuals who have both broad-based and lengthy records of highly-successful and wide-ranging experience in all aspects and levels of government—federal, state, and local—as well as with corporate and nonprofit organizations. We place relationships with our clients ahead of maximizing opportunities for billing. We are not an organization where billable hours take precedent over other considerations, and we do not have the billing pressures or high costs that many lobbying firms face. Our commitment to you is to identify the highest and best use of our services to ensure successful implementation of your legislative goals and objectives. David Bailey Associates is a full-service public relations, government affairs, and lobbying firm located immediately adjacent to the state capitol in Richmond. You can count on our reputation for competence, fairness, honesty, and success. 2011 Redbook Second Edition Eateries Chez Foushee • www.chezfoushee.com 203 North Foushee Street • 804-648-3225 David Napier’s White House Catering Historic Shockoe Bottom • 804-644-4411 Grandpa Eddie’s Alabama Ribs & BBQ 11129 Three Chopt Road • 804-270-RIBS Meriwether’s at the Assembly 804-698-7438 • The Capitol • 804-698-7692, GAB Hotels Commonwealth Park Suites Hotel at Capitol Square 901 Bank Street, Richmond • 804.343.7300 Doubletree Hotel Richmond Downtown 301 West Franklin Street, Richmond • 804-644-9871 Hampton-Inn Richmond Airport 421 International Center Drive, Sandston • 804-226-1888 Hilton Garden Inn Richmond Downtown 501 East Broad Street, Richmond • 804-344-4300 Holiday-Inn Richmond Airport 445 International Center Drive, Sandston • 804-236-1111 Holiday-Inn Express Richmond Downtown 201 East Cary Street, Richmond • 804-788-1600 Homewood Suites Richmond Airport 5996 Audubon Drive, Sandston • 804-737-1600 OMNI Richmond Hotel 100 South 12th Street, Richmond • 804-344-7000 Richmond Marriott-Downtown 500 East Broad Street, Richmond • 804-643-3400 The Berkeley Hotel 1200 East Cary Street, Richmond • 804-780-1300 Westin Richmond 6631 West Broad Street, Richmond • 804-282-8444 Parking Parkway Parking of Virginia Daily or monthly available • 804-339-3233 706 E.
