When you join CRD Associates, it’s because you know important conversations are happening in Washington, and you want to become a part of the discussion. You want to shake up the status quo and get influential voices heard.

CRD Associates cultivates an environment where we can help those voices speak up, be heard, and make change happen.

Our Values

Impact

We make a difference in Washington’s unpredictable political and economic climate in our quest to help our clients chart a steady course and get results.

Teamwork

We work collaboratively with our teams and clients to navigate complex problems and enact meaningful change at the federal level.

Integrity

We actively choose to do the right things for ourselves and for our clients at all times — even when those decisions are difficult.

Lucerno Dynamics

“I consider CRD Associates, not only as partners, but as an extension of my own team. We had a unique need and CRD has dug in and really learned the issue and suggested unique avenues to pursue. The successes that we have had in Congress and in the Administration helping us to address a patient safety issue have been achieved by working hand-in-glove with CRD Associates.”

-Ron Lattanze, CEO

Endocrine Society

“CRD Associates is a phenomenal consulting firm to work with. As a client for many years, I have found all the staff not only extremely knowledgeable about topic areas, but gifted communicators, effective strategists, and skilled advocates. CRD is more than a group of consultants; they have become members of our team who work closely with us and care about our mission and success. With CRD we have accomplished many legislative and regulatory victories we could not have on our own.”

-Mila Becker, Chief Policy Officer

NILA

“The COVID-19 pandemic created enormous demands for community and regional clinical laboratories. NILA’s close work with CRD Associates helped secure key funding and policy wins allowing labs to provide critical services to underserved patients, whose needs would have otherwise gone unmet.”

-Mark Birenbaum, PhD, Executive Director

AAP

“CRD Associates has been a critical partner to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) in advancing our gun violence prevention research priorities. They have helped us strategically build policymaker relationships and plan Congressional engagement and earned media. I am always impressed with their creative thinking and insightful analysis.”

-Zach Laris, Director Federal Advocacy & Child Welfare Policy

American Society for Pediatric Nephrology

“ASPN has partnered with CRD Associates since 1997. Our work together has helped elevate ASPN as the voice of pediatric kidney disease in Washington and provided the Society with opportunities to testify before Congress and engage with the Administration to improve the health of children with chronic kidney disease. With 700 members, CRD Associates has been key to the Society’s development and implementation of innovative advocacy strategies to amplify the voice of our members.”

-Dr. Jodi Smith, President
