Current partners George Cronin and Justine Griffin remain as managing directors.  Cronin will continue to run the public affairs side of the firm and Griffin will head up communications.  Senior VP David Tamasi has been promoted to managing director of Rasky’s growing D.C. practice.

“Joe Baerlein and Ann Carter have been integral parts of the success and prominence that we enjoy today and I am confident we will continue to work together as they pursue their own endeavors.  As for the rest of us, we look forward to continuing to build on our strong platform and grow with our clients as we always have,” said CEO Larry Rasky.  “The senior management team and all of our account teams will remain in place.  I firmly believe we have the best people in the business.”

Rasky Partners, one of the largest independent PR and public affairs agencies in the U.S., has approximately fifty staff between its two offices in Boston and D.C.  A move to bigger space in the nation’s capital is planned for early March.
