More on Robert Hertzberg
Description from Wikipedia:
Robert Myles Hertzberg (born November 19, 1954 in Los Angeles, California) is a lawyer, businessman and community activist who served in the California Legislature from 1996-2002. In the State Assembly, he represented more than 400,000 constituents in the San Fernando Valley communities of Los Angeles. Prior to his election, Mr. Hertzberg spent many years as a community activist volunteering to help dozens of successful candidates for public office, from a wide variety of many communities, often serving as treasurer or campaign chair.
He was twice elected unanimously Speaker of the State Assembly, and served two terms. Since leaving the State Assembly in 2002, Hertzberg has pursued a three-part approach to his career, involving:
a) public service, including a close race for Mayor of Los Angeles in 2005 and assisting numerous community groups and public policy institutions;
b) his successful law practice at the international firm Mayer Brown LLP;
c) entrepreneurship and innovation in the fields of alternative energy and environmental protection.
Hertzberg has been described by Dean Jack Knott of the University of Southern California as "working feverishly on issues of renewable energy, climate change and the many challenges which are associated with these endeavors."
Upon retiring from the State Assembly due to term limits in 2002, Hertzberg immediately co-founded Solar Integrated Technology in South Central Los Angeles, with two partners. This would be the first plant producing renewable energy in Los Angeles, located very close to where the 1992 riots started. Solar Integrated became successful and in 2005, was the Wall Street Journal recipient of the "Innovation Award" in the Energy and Power sector. Solar Integrated was admitted to the Alternative Investment Exchange in May 2004, and remains a publicly traded company today. (GB: SIT))
