We look forward to watching Noah’s business g r ow in the years ahead. “ During his impromptu acceptance speech, Rouen thanked his wife Keri, thre e sons, staff and his first client, Pawn Ameri- ca who believed in Noah’s vision for the Rouen Group when he launched the com- pany in 2010. Rouen said, “We have been blessed with great clients that have helped us grow and challenged us to develop new and innovative ways to assist their public a f fairs eff o r t s . ” In just 3 years The Rouen Group has worked on some of the most pro m i n e n t public policy issues including, minimum wage, gun control, election re f o r m, health c a r e re f o r m and tax policy.
