Marc Rodriguez has been appointed to the board of directors of the US Hispanic Business Council.
Washington,
D.C. - The United States
Hispanic Business Council (USHBC) announced today the appointment of
Marc Rodriguez, founding partner of Texas Lobby Partners, to its board of directors.
For
over 26 years, Austin, Texas-based Texas Lobby Partners, a government relations
consulting firm with unparalleled bipartisan experience, has served a wide
array of clients in both the public and private sector.
As
a founding partner, Rodriguez uses his personal experience as an entrepreneur,
coupled with specific expertise in public policy, utility and infrastructure
regulation, urban affairs and natural resources, to resolve his clients' needs.
Clients
also benefit from his expertise as a political advisor, analyst, strategist and
tactician. His clients include Apple,
City of San Antonio, CPS Energy, Entergy, Guidehouse, LaMantia Family,
Motorola, Las Vegas Sands, San Antonio Water System and United Healthcare.
“The
way I see it, if you are not working on the demographics of the new economy -
the Hispanic business community - your future business pipeline in America is
at risk. The USHBC is working [on this],” said Rodriguez.
Throughout
his career, he has served on numerous nonprofit boards, including the Texas
Association of Business and the Austin Area Research Organization. He also
previously served as chairman of the United States Hispanic Chamber of
Commerce.
"I
am delighted to announce Marc Rodriguez as a member of the USHBC board and one
of our legislative co-chairs. His vast knowledge of public policy, as well as
the breadth of his relationships in the political sphere, make him uniquely
qualified to serve America's Hispanic business community,” said USHBC Chairman

business community will be critical to our success. We are honored to have his
insights, counsel, and entrepreneurial spirit at our organization."
