LEADERSHIP
JENNIFER ALTON, M.P.P. | PRESIDENT
“We start every day driven by purpose and proud of the hard work we do for our clients. We partner with builders, innovators, and policy entrepreneurs who are redefining what’s possible for our nation’s health and security.”
ELLEN P. CARLIN, D.V.M. | VICE PRESIDENT
“Since 9/11, I’ve been working to help us create a more resilient national health security posture. Each day, I help tackle problems that require years-long efforts before we can realize solutions. But when we get there, it’s really gratifying; it means we have played a part in helping to make a difference for people, for animals, for health.”
