Power and influence through public service

Kingston, ON

Join the School of Policy Studies as they welcome Amy Baker, Ambassador of Canada to the Kingdom of Norway, to campus as the speaker for the 2024 Donald Gow Memorial Lecture Series. 

Amy will discuss power and influence through public service, how you get it and why you need it. This event is moderated by Emeritus Professor, Robert Wolfe. A light lunch will be provided. 

In situations of geopolitical uncertainly, the importance of relationships cannot be overstated. We are at a global inflection point, and Canadian actors must be able to influence others , both domestically and internationally, to remain relevant and to protect our interests.  

With examples from her own professional experience, Amy Baker will speak about the impact we can each have in the face of the turmoil in the world around us.
