VICA Creates Political Action Committee

The Valley Industry & Commerce Association is launching its San Fernando Valley Leadership Political Action Committee to help elect pro-business candidates to local and state offices, the Sherman Oaks-based organization announced. The committee will host a reception Sept. 15 at the Van Nuys home of VICA President Stuart Waldman. “The new political action committee is sponsored by VICA and will provide us with another tool to advance our advocacy efforts on behalf of the business community,” said Daymond Rice, the group’s chair. “VICA only takes positions on issues, but the PAC can endorse and financially support candidates.” The event is being hosted by Vons and co-hosted by The Afriat Consulting Group, Inc., Fiona Hutton & Associates and Greg Lippe, CPA. Several elected officials who represent the San Fernando Valley will be attending the event. Jessica Selva
