When Gerald S.J. Cassidy founded our firm in 1975, he began by representing institutions of higher education before Congress. As Cassidy & Associates has grown into one of the most respected government relations firms in Washington, our education appropriations practice remains a core area.
Cassidy & Associates provides expertise to develop and implement focused strategies aimed at impacting key federal developments to the benefit of our clients. Through both the regulatory and the legislative processes, Cassidy & Associates works with clients to ensure that their interests are known and protected. We also ensure that our clients are informed of any action taking place on Capitol Hill and in the Department of Education that has the potential to affect a client’s interests.
Areas of education expertise include:
Our staff has been in the education policy business for decades, and our education professionals have significant experience working with Congressional committees, Members of Congress, Presidential Administrations and agency officials. Many of our professionals have had a direct role in drafting and implementing federal legislation over the years.
Our education clients represent a diverse set of institutions, which include some of the nation’s most prominent research universities, as well as mid-sized universities, small liberal arts schools, and community and technical colleges. We excel at developing strategies and relationships that promote their interests. Cassidy & Associates has the expertise to assist institutions in navigating the increasingly complex world of federal education policy.
