At Professional and Scientific Associates (PSA), the horizons are limitless. In fact, we’re in the midst of a metamorphosis (of sorts).

1. Stretching our wings—a fundamental change in focus and direction.

2. Looking to the future—a surge in commitment and re-engagement among employees.

3. Taking advantage of opportunities for growth— utilizing leadership experience, enthusiasm and purpose to serve our clients exceedingly well.

Founded in 1986 by Dr. George T. Brooks, PSA has its roots in the National Institutes of Health. At the outset, Brooks envisioned an organization that would provide technical services to support the nation’s research community—a firm that would make a difference in the overall quality of people’s lives.

In 1992, Lily Fernandez Richardson became President and Chief Executive Officer of PSA. Under her leadership, the firm has grown to more than 100 employees in Atlanta, Miami, and the Washington, DC metropolitan area.

Today, most PSA clients look for support in the area of events management (peer/grant review, conferences, special events) and graphic design. However, since 1999, PSA has offered clients a fully staffed, in-house graphic design studio called Firebrand Studio®. Additionally, Diplomatic Solutions was launched last year to provide advance services and direct consultation to highly visible clients in the critical areas of security, protocol, transportation and media relations.

PSA manages and supports events of any size, on any occasion, in any location. Our well-deserved reputation for exceeding clients’ expectations underscores a "spirit of service" that consistently assures the highest quality services and products--on time and within budget.

Each year, the list of clients for which PSA provides technical and logistical services continues to grow. Corporations, foundations, national associations, Federal agencies and community-based organizations bear witness to PSA’s long-standing commitment to excellence—a reputation that has made PSA one of the 300 largest Hispanic-owned firms* in America.
