Trenton, NJ – River Crossing Strategy Group (RCSG), one of New Jersey’s leading government affairs firms, has announced a strategic partnership agreement with Florida-based Converge Public Affairs (Converge).

With offices in Miami, Orlando, and Jacksonville, Converge boasts a team of top-tier government affairs professionals in Tallahassee, Florida’s capital. The firm also maintains a strong presence in Albany, NY and Chicago, IL, where its team is dedicated to managing legislative and policy issues in both states.

“These are exciting times for River Crossing Strategy Group as we continue to expand our geographic footprint and service offerings,” said Eric Shuffler, Founding and Managing Partner of RCSG. “Many of our clients have policy and advocacy needs that extend beyond New Jersey’s borders. By forming a strategic alliance with Converge Public Strategies – a highly regarded and well-established, multi-state agency, we are strengthening our ability to support our clients with issues in Florida, New York, and Chicago.”

As part of the affiliation, Tim White, Chair of RCSG’s Public Affairs Practice and Managing Director of the firm’s recently launched Jacksonville, FL office, will join Converge’s Florida team as a partner, while continuing his work with RCSG in New Jersey.

This partnership marks a significant milestone for RCSG as it broadens its reach, resources, and expertise in key markets beyond New Jersey. RCSG was once again named as one of the top ten lobbying firms in NJ based on receipts as reported by the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement (ELEC).

Tim White echoed the enthusiasm, stating, “This alliance presents an incredible opportunity to continue my work with RCSG in New Jersey while expanding our presence in Florida through our affiliation with one of the state’s most respected firms.
