Representative Dwight Evans
(December 17, 2004) KSG Strategic Consulting participated in a political awareness session
led by Pennsylvania State Representative Dwight Evans at the Enterprise Center on
December 16, 2004.
Representative Evans, a West Oak Lane-based politician responsible for the creation of the
$4 million Ogontz Avenue business revitalization initiative, stressed the importance of
businesses initiating communication with local politicians. Evans suggested that business
owners have “Government Day,” during which they meet with their political
representatives, and find out more about the work they’re doing for constituents.
Evans also encouraged building political activism into participants’ business plans. By
making politics a specific section of the business plans, companies will charge themselves
with the task of staying abreast of the political and social issues that could impact business
growth, financial success, employee issues, and transportation concerns.
Citing the well-publicized budget crisis the South Eastern Pennsylvania Transportation
Authority (SEPTA) recently underwent – almost leading to a strike by workers,
Representative Evans asserted that transportation problems could have affected the
transportation of thousands of workers, including employee absence and tardiness.
Kesi Stribling, founder and CEO of KSG Strategic Consulting said, “This session was
invaluable because Representative Evans clearly articulated ways in which business owners
can maximize relationships with our politicians, while enhancing our businesses –
particularly as they relate to our human resources - our staff -and their families.”
The discussion was hosted by The Enterprise Center, a West Philadelphia-based
organization that assists Philadelphia business owners and entrepreneurs with business
development, sales, and human resources issues.
