Thursday People: Top LieberFlack Moves to CDF

My friend and former colleague Casey Aden-Wansbury, who has filled nearly every role there is in Sen. Joe Lieberman's press shop over the past five years, is leaving her post as communications director to assume the same title at the Children's Defense Fund. CDF also plans to expand its comms department in the coming months.
New faces are joining Qorvis Communications to handle the firm's Medicare "doughnut hole" project for PhRMA, including: Quin Hillyer, ex-senior editor at the American Spectator and ex-press secretary for Rep. Bob Livingston (R-La.); Eric Alvarez , a former CBS reporter and anchor; Kathleen Corcoran , PR director for Volunteers of America; Jarrett Bens , ex-director of Luntz Maslansky Strategic Research; and Kathleen Michael , ex-assistant managing editor of the Pink Sheet, which covers the pharmaceutical industry (Washington Post)
