Leading association lobbyists give voice to industry
December 17, 2024 by Melanie Kalmar
Behind every piece of legislation is the work of lobbyists who set out to educate policymakers on issues that impact Americans’ lives. For lobbyists Greg Crist, Jennifer Fox, Carl Holshouser and Jason Ortega, the process of helping legislators frame sound policy is just as thrilling as seeing it become law. This involves telling the story of an industry’s unique position in the marketplace, succinctly and with stellar data to make any argument indisputable. It’s a skill that takes years to perfect, and they have managed to do just that.
On March 13, 2025, Crist, Fox, Holshouser and Ortega will become part of the story when Association TRENDS and CEO Update honor them as leading lobbyists at the 2025 Salute to Association Excellence awards.
With humility and candor, they spoke to CEO Update about the early days of their careers and what it takes to be a changemaker on the Hill.
