Throughout the pandemic, government relations efforts have been affected by the lack of face-to-face meetings with elected officials and their staff. Businesses, associations and other groups have been forced to adapt their tactics to adjust to the virtual world.

As we embark on a second year without in-person lobby days at the Legislature, how do public affairs professionals go about creating effective lobby days in a virtual environment? What are the best practices to secure meetings and hold engaging discussions with policymakers that incite change?

Crestview Strategy will be providing a presentation on tools & tactics of hosting virtual lobby days. Following the presentation, we are pleased to welcome a panel of MPPs from Queen’s Park to share their insights on how to (and not to) approach their offices in a virtual environment.

PANELISTS:

Andrea Khanjin, MPP Barrie-Innisfil, Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario

Catherine Fife, MPP Waterloo, Ontario New Democratic Party

‍Mitzie Hunter, MPP Scarborough-Guildwood, Ontario Liberal Party

MODERATOR:

Alex Chreston Senior Consultant, Crestview Strategy, PAAC Ontario Board Member
