CRD Associates alums launch health lobbying firm

Posted by on April 24, 2020

With all eyes on the world of healthcare, two former lobbyists for Cavarocchi Ruscio Dennis Associates LLC have parted with the company to launch their own health-focused firm. 

Johanna Gray and Ellen Riker, both previously senior vice presidents at CRD Associates, are now principals for Artemis Policy Group. According to Gray's LinkedIn, Artemis is, "a boutique health policy lobbying and association management firm" with a focus on representing nonprofits. 

In addition to serving as a principal of the new firm, Riker is the executive director of the National Association of Epilepsy Centers. Earlier in her career, she worked for the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

Beyond CRD Associates, Gray and Riker also crossed paths at Holland & Knight, where both worked on health accounts like the American College of Chest Physicians and National Hemophilia Foundation.
