More Information: Please click here for additional details.

The Clayton H. Riddell graduate program in Political Management is hosting the annual Women in Politics panel and reception on March 30, 2017 at Carleton University as part of FPA Research Month.

The equal representation of women in Canadian parliament and provincial legislatures remains a vital issue. But less attention is paid to equal representation behind-the-scenes. This year, we will be hearing from women who are working or have worked in political offices, on campaign teams, or for political parties.
Panelists Include:
Rachel Curran, former Director of Policy to Stephen Harper
Allison Gifford, former speechwriter and Press Secretary to Jack Layton
Marci Surkes, Chief of Staff to the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness

Please RSVP as space is limited.
