"I enjoyed participating in RAC my first week at CRA as I learned invaluable information about CRA and what makes them who they are today. Some of my favorite sessions were the excel trainings where I learned new shortcuts and formulas that I can apply in real-time to gain efficiency and be an asset to the CRA team. Additionally, the Business of our Business session taught me the background of CRA’s profitability and purpose so that I can understand our bottom line. Finally, the Practice Insiders sessions were great to hear what other practices and departments in the firm do, which will help me be a well-rounded employee. I’m looking forward to my career at CRA!" -Marissa Panarese, Associate, Forensic Services

On behalf of the CRA family, we welcome our first-ever Chief Inclusion and Engagement Officer, Raquel Tamez. Since our founding, CRA has sought to create a dynamic and inclusive culture. While we are proud of the work we have done to strengthen that culture, there are always ways to improve,. We believe Raquel has the knowledge, experience, and vision to bolster and lead our efforts in this regard. Prior to joining CRA, Raquel served as CEO of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE), one of the largest Hispanic-serving professional societies in the country. With Raquel at the helm, SHPE saw unprecedented growth and transformation. What impressed us most about Raquel was her passion for DE&I and her vision for making it a focal point of CRA’s culture and future. In her new role, Raquel will help integrate DE&I into everything we do in order to engage and empower everyone on our team and further align us to better serve our clients, stakeholders, and communities. Welcome aboard, Raquel!
