The Howard-Sloan-Koller Group (HSK) specializes in media, advertising and entertainment, recruiting in the functions found in print publishing, digital media, advertising, public relations, direct marketing, sales promotion, broadcast and cable, and related fields. Our dedicated practices are built on deep market knowledge as well as a long-established network of clients, candidates and friends.Because we have worked in the professions in which we now recruit, we also serve as true consultants to our clients. While our core function is search and recruitment--connecting people with companies and companies with people--the insight we bring to the search process gives us an unmatched ability to offer ideas and perspective that go beyond the recruitment of talent. The firm's roots go back to the mid-'70s, when Ed Koller joined Howard-Sloan Associates, a recruiting firm established in 1957. In 1989, he acquired the part of the firm he had been running and launched the Howard-Sloan-Koller Group (HSK) as a newly focused entity: A retained search resource for the media sector. In 1991, as synergies grew between the advertising and media industries, HSK acquired Jerry Fields Associates, the leading recruitment firm in advertising. Today, the Jerry Fields name has been brought under the Howard-Sloan-Koller umbrella to reflect the convergence of these industries and to provide the firm with a single brand with a unified message.

Alameda Corridor, Ports Advisory Committee (PAC) was created by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). This committee was established in response to growing concerns about the ability of the ground transportation system to accommodate increasing levels of traffic in the port area. PAC members included local elected officials, as well as representatives of the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the U.S. Navy, Army Corps of Engineers, affected railroads, trucking industry, and the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission (LACTC). The first phase of the PAC's study, completed in 1982, dealt with the problems of highway access to the ports. In this phase, the PAC addressed a number of problem areas and recommended a cost-effective set of highway improvements, including the widening of certain streets. The second phase, a study of rail access, was completed in 1984. Additional highway improvements were recommended, but the focus of the second phase was concern over the impact of projected train traffic on communities north of the ports. Three routing alternatives were evaluated and the results of the analysis indicated that consolidating all trains on an up-graded Southern Pacific San Pedro Branch right-of-way would be the most cost-effective alternative.
