FIRESIDE CHAT

DR. JOHN MILLOY
JUNE 5TH @ 7PM
SANDMAN HOTEL OTTAWA

Politics is about selling – your ideas, your vision and yourself. But just like real salespeople, politicians face many challenges; trying to get people’s attention in a noisy world; helping them understand the product and why they need it; dealing with competitors that distort the truth; and the disappointment of a public that often just doesn’t seem to be interested in buying what you’re selling.

Capturing the Ottawa spirit, we will be kicking off this year’s conference through a Fireside Chat with retired politician and political advisor John Milloy on the similarities between two of the oldest professions.

From 2003 to 2014, John Milloy served as MPP for the riding of Kitchener Centre, holding several senior Cabinet posts in the Ontario government. He had previously worked on Parliament Hill, including five years on the senior staff of Prime Minister Jean Chrétien.

Upon retirement from politics, John entered academia, and holds positions at Martin Luther University College, Wilfrid Laurier’s Political Science Department, and the University of Waterloo's Master of Public Service Program.
