Washington is the decision-making center of the world. It is where a vote in Congress, a presidential directive, or a new regulation can affect the future of an entire industry - in the United States and around the world. To achieve success, organizations and individuals must play an active role in the decision-making process of Washington - with Congress, the executive branch and the media. Since 1975, Cassidy & Associates has provided aggressive, proactive government relations services to a broad and diverse base of clients. Our approach is to develop a strategy and plan of action tailored to the unique requirements of each client. We are often engaged to either create opportunities or solve problems where the federal government can play a role in the outcome. We achieve success for our company by achieving success for our clients. That is the best motivation we can think of - and our client results reflect it. From the beginning, Cassidy & Associates has helped clients pursue their specific interests with decision-makers in Congress, the White House and executive branch departments, as well as federal and independent regulatory agencies. While many firms tout their ability to "monitor and track" federal legislation, Cassidy & Associates has established an enviable record of going beyond that level of performance. Our firm's strength is in our professionals' experience and expertise in anticipating legislation and regulations, and then helping our clients impact the policy making process. To be successful, a government relations program must educate elected officials and other government decision-makers in an honest, comprehensive, and timely manner. Understanding the politics that shape policy is essential. Our knowledge of how government works and the ability to reach decision-makers ensures that our clients' interests are conveyed. Cassidy & Associates adapts to changing priorities as we anticipate major new challenges in public affairs - including increasing globalization and devolution of power to the states. However, our dedication to achieving results for our clients remains a constant.
