CRD ASSOCIATES TO REPRESENT SOCIETY FOR NEUROSCIENCE

January 14, 2004

Cavarocchi-Ruscio-Dennis Associates, LLC is pleased to announce that the firm has been retained to assist the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) in its effort to upgrade its positions before the United States Congress and the Bush administration.

CRD Associates will be working with senior officials of the Society, which is headquartered in Washington, DC, to help achieve its important goals in the fields of health research, science, and related disciplines.

This is part of a bold new strategy set by the leadership of SfN that is designed to inform Congress and the public about the benefits and promise of neuroscience research. The strategy includes having the 34,000 member Society work in concert with other organizations, as well as individually, to promote the importance of federal support for scientific research.

For its part, Cavarocchi-Ruscio-Dennis Associates has committed a team of experts to assist SfN in coordinating this initiative. The effort will be led by two of the firm' partners, Nicholas G. Cavarocchi and Lyle B. Dennis, who have extensive experience working with large medical and scientific organizations like SfN.
