EcTownUSA, LLC. (A.k.a.E Chamber Towns) has developed a program designed to deliver increased commerce to smaller markets where the local economy may not be sufficient to drive business growth.
Our corporate offices are located in the high sierra town of Quincy California (Plumas County) where we build market development programs for Chamber of Commerce organizations across America. Our first project was launched by the Quincy Chamber of Commerce designed to increase chamber membership and improve the local member business activity. Fortunately, the program has increased chamber membership by 38% in its first 90 days, and online sales in the area are growing as well.
Our Management Team:
Richard Scully, Founder & CEO
Richard Scully is the author of two staffing system patent applications and founder of TriStep. He invented the "TriStep HiringSystem", the first ever fully automated online "contract workforce sourcing and compliance management system" that launched in 1992. It was designed to automate the process of procuring, managing and retaining contractors stationed around the world by providing exceptional localized benefits and an "Open System for People(r)." The system, proven so valuable, companies like Unisys, KLA,Tencor Instruments, Intuit, Symantec and many others, setup the system to cut cost and increase applicant flow in order to create a stronger more reliable workforce.
The company consisted of a virtual back office for managing relationships and to serve a multitude of consultants, 325 vendors, and was used by hundreds of companies in 38 states. He founded the idea of a multi-tiered hiring system as an alternative to the temporary agency "sole-source" programs controlled by just a few companies. With the TriStep Hiring System at hand, we were able to break the log-jam of control by just a few vendors, and then dramatically reduce cost for our customers and improve benefits for 50000 contractors across the country.
TriStep's exclusive three step hiring process was truly unique and revolutionary in the way contract staffing operations (173 Billion Dollar Market) worked within a company. Richard also directed TriStep through a successful exit when it was purchased by eWork in 2000 and the system was re-branded under the name ProSource.

As a professional designer, sales drives the design decisions I make when I work on a commercial assignment. I am not a decorator. Whether it is an illustration, a logo, a package design, an ad or a web page, all the elements work together to strike a nerve or ring a bell and motivate the viewer in a way that is wholly unique and original and easy to remember.
