We are pleased to congratulate Renae Bomba, Esq., Manager of Compliance Services at State and Federal Communications, on her 10-year anniversary with the company.

Renae began her career at State and Federal Communications in 2016 as a Research Associate. She advanced to Compliance Associate in 2017 and was promoted to Manager of Compliance Services in 2020. Throughout her tenure, Renae has been driven by a commitment to helping clients remain compliant while making their work easier and more efficient.

The Compliance team provides essential guidance to consulting clients on registrations, reporting requirements, and terminations, working closely with them to ensure compliance with lobbying and campaign contribution laws. Clear and consistent communication is critical, as state and local regulations are constantly evolving. State and Federal Communications’ continued investment in technology has also played an important role in supporting the growing and changing needs of clients.

“In the Compliance Department, you work with and learn the different filing systems and rules” Renae explained. “You talk with clients, help them to the best of your ability, and gather all the information needed to file reports correctly.”

Renae is a trusted expert within the Compliance Department, known for her deep familiarity with compliance systems and processes. She values her strong relationships with existing clients and enjoys guiding new clients as they integrate into State and Federal Communications’ systems and workflows.

When regulatory quirks or nuances create challenges during the filing process, Renae works directly with state agencies and organizations to advocate for clients and identify what may need to be fixed, clarified, or improved. Much of this work involves managing risk and understanding how differences in state rules—and changes to those rules—can impact clients.

Carter Hoskins is among the best of our home-grown talents here at State and Federal Communications. Carter started as an intern right after graduating from Akron University and found a home with us as an indispensable member of our sales team. He has learned the ropes of multiple roles within the sales team, and while his primary role is as a customer relations assistant, he also does a considerable amount of work with the marketing team, as well.

Passion is something Carter does not lack in his job – he finds it when he helps someone on his team or elsewhere in the office. He also exhibits his passion by being efficient and effective in his tasks and doing the best he can.

As the customer relations assistant, Carter wears many hats for the sales team, filling in where needed for roles such as subscription renewal services, potential client outreach, and many others. He helps balance the intricate system of the sales team, keeping the team working together at all times.

Carter is eagerly learning more about government affairs every day, which is fueled by a keen interest in people within our industry. His experiences at conferences and conversations with local professionals has not only helped him to become well-versed in the industry, but ever more skillful within sales and marketing.

He is also active in educational groups through State and Federal Communications to push him toward his career goals. Membership in organizations like National Sales and Marketing Executives provides him with critical tips for growth. Through pursuing so many diverse, yet related career interests, Carter is rapidly becoming more well-rounded and knowledgeable within his area of expertise.

When he is not doing it all for the sales and marketing teams, sports and staying active are a big part of Carter’s life. A long-time baseball player, Carter still keeps close contact with the sport, playing it, watching it, and even coaching it. He’s currently coaching an 11U baseball team while also competing on his own softball team.

We’re excited Carter decided to stick around for the ride with the State and Federal Communications team – a group full of experts you can trust. Learn more about what we can do for you at https://stateandfed.com/services/.

David Jones has worked at State and Federal Communications almost half his life. He was a friend of the company and started working as an intern, next as a part-time tech assistant while in college, and then full time for the last 10 years. He currently serves as the Information Systems Engineer.

David started his career by gaining his associate’s degree from Stark State in Cisco Network Administration. He then earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Akron in Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics. This remains a pivotal issue with the importance of business security.

He enjoys working at State and Federal Communications as he can employ his talents and passion in protecting our systems, having some good friends, and good work being done at the company.

David’s main responsibilities in the IT Department of a small company are resolving IT inquiries for staff, managing the firewall, focusing the company on cybersecurity training, in addition to managing the hardware updates for the company.

His main satisfaction comes from keeping employees working in the way they want every day. “I enjoy wearing many hats so our staff can keep working in an uninterrupted environment at all times,” said Jones.

He is the behind-the-scenes person who ensures everyone is able to do their job better because of what he does. State and Federal Communications relies on David’s expertise to keep us current on new programs and new hardware.

This isn’t about programming, David’s job is focused on hardware, software upgrades, cloud servers, and eliminating issues on the staff’s computers. His duties of navigating servers to the cloud and directing new products and trends keep the company efficient.

David likes to fix things while away from the job – including restoring vintage computer keyboards, taking old keyboards and updating them to current standards. Additionally, he restores bicycles, having 14 bikes of his own that are historically significant. He takes old bikes, strips them down, modifies handlebars, gears, and wheels to make them the way he wants.

Jones enjoyed talking about his hobby, “My favorite bikes are the 1989 Specialized Stumpjumper and the 1994 GT Tequesta.”

We are excited to have the talented David Jones as part of the State and Federal Communications team, which is full of experts you can trust. Learn more about what we can do for you at https://stateandfed.com/services/.
