Hit the Ground Running: How to Make Your First Year in Office a Success

Diane Therrien, former mayor of Peterborough; Andrea Reimer, former Vancouver City Councillor; and Saadiq Sumar, Edmonton Public School Board Trustee; joined us for a candid discussion about what it’s like once you’ve made it behind the closed doors where decisions are made. They considered classic questions like: How to make friends and influence people? To more contemporary questions like, How do you deal with social media attacks and scrutiny?

The panel was moderated by Amarit Brar.
