For the interview, see page 40
an old political hack
and mentor of mine
once told me that
when you are meeting
with government
officials that you
should be doing
more listening
than talking.
wHat is tHe best advice
you received?
AIAC has worked very hard to be a good program
and policy partner with the government. Having a
'partner relationship' with government allows you
to have input into your future business environ-
ment – and you can't put a price on that. Being
asked to assist or lead program and policy imple-
mentation can be the best ROI that you can pro-
vide to members.
