Int'l Paper Lobbyist Starts Own Firm
John Runyan, who led International Paper's federal affairs team for 12 years, has left to launch his own lobbying firm, Runyan Public Affairs.
Runyan's first clients include International Paper, R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co. and the Coalition for Transportation Productivity. Runyan will also be a strategic affiliate of the Business and Industry Political Action Committee (BIPAC), where he will help the organization with business development. Runyan previously chaired BIPAC's grassroots and voter education program aimed at businesses called the "Prosperity Project."
Prior to International Paper, Runyan was senior government relations adviser to McGuiness & Williams, and worked on government relations at Printing Industries of America. He also worked for former Sen. Donald Stewart, D-Ala.
In 2008, International Paper spent $2.88 million on lobbying, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. In the 2008 election cycle, Runyan gave campaign donations of $2,000 to former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani and $1,000 to Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.

John Runyan has launched his own lobbying firm, Runyan Public Affairs. After leading the International Paper's federal affairs team for 12 years, I bet he has become trained and prepared to launch his own lobbying firm. Runyan Public Affairs, LLC has proven to be an independent government relations firm dedicated to helping clients develop solutions to their public affairs challenges. There's no doubt it will continue helping clients more in the future years to come.

I admire him for his courage of taking a stand and sharing the people some of his wide knowledge on the field. We must not get discouraged if not all of us rely on such a prolific background. He is a fortunate case, of course, but this makes me do nothing but congratulate him on such terrific career achievements. This must be a breakthrough motivational drive for all of us. After reading this article, I searched the internet for a few study offers and I came across this organizational leadership training that looks very promising. I am looking forward to starting it.
