WASHINGTON, June 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Perennial Strategy Group, LLC announced today that attorney Stephanie Baucus will join the firm as Vice President of Government Relations and Public Affairs.  Ms. Baucus, a former Associate Director at the U.S. Department of Justice, brings to Perennial a decade of experience in government affairs, legal advocacy, bipartisan policymaking, political campaigns, and nonprofit service.  In this position, she will provide strategic counsel to and lead advocacy efforts for non-profit organizations and Fortune 500 companies on the most critical governmental issues in today's business environment. 

"Stephanie's extensive legal background and experience in government affairs, politics, and nonprofit service will serve our clients' interests well," said Lamell McMorris, Founder and CEO of Perennial.  "Her ability to build relationships with Members of Congress and form strategic alliances is unmatched – making her an incredible asset to our clients as the firm continues to grow."
