Saulius “Saul” Anuzis, former Chairman of the Michigan Republican Party, has

teamed with The RAP Index®, the proprietary public affairs software solution

created by The Felkel Group, Inc. Anuzis will serve in a business development

role as part of the group’s RAP Advisors team. Relying on his extensive contacts

and relationships built over years in the political and business development

arena, Anuzis will assist the firm in marketing The RAP Index®, which identifies

stakeholders’ relationships with over 28,000 policy makers at the local, state and

federal level.

“I am very excited to be a part of this effort. The RAP Index provides valuable,

actionable intelligence which is what the advocacy world needs now more than

ever,” said Anuzis.

Along with his RAP Advisors role, Anuzis works with the American Solutions team and serves as the

National Chairman for their Save American Jobs project. His accomplished background includes being

elected as the youngest delegate to the Republican National Convention in 1980 and serving as Third

Vice Chair of the MRSC where he also served six years as a member and two terms as a Congressional

District Chairman, precinct delegate and candidate for public office. During his time as Michigan

Chairman, Saul actively cultivated relationships with members of the Republican National Committee all

across the country. His daily blogs and regular updates are a source of up-to-the-minute information for

Michigan activists and national GOP activists as well. In addition to his political activities, Saul and his

business partner own Quick Connect USA, a telecommunications firm providing local, long distance,

VOIP, internet and data services to residential and small businesses throughout Michigan.

“We are certainly pleased to have someone with Saul’s outstanding reputation join the RAP Index®

team. His wealth of contacts and relationships will be of great value as we continue to redefine advocacy,

putting real people with real relationships back into the process,” said Hollis “Chip” Felkel, CEO.

Earlier this year, TFG released The RAP Index® 2.0, a unique approach that mines and identifies key

stakeholder relationships in the public policy arena, while also objectively assessing the stakeholder’s

willingness, ability, interest and aptitude for leveraging their relationships or engaging on issues. “The

RAP Index® makes it possible for an organization to use its best possible assets, its own people, as it

deals with public policy,” says Felkel. “It’s about finding the right messengers, and those are the people

who have the relationships to begin with.” To learn more, visit www.therapindex.com or
