Ottawa's Latest Movers & Shakers Magnified

As with last month, Fred Sherman of Fred Sherman Communications is adding his comments on some of the inside movers and shakers in Ottawa. Here's some of the most recent scoops in who's moving where:

Government relations stakeholders await the four investigative reports recently forwarded to Treasury Board President Vic Toews by Lobbyists Registrar Michael Nelson. The reports, which have to be tabled in Parliament within 15 days of receipt, cover lobbyist Neelam Makhija's activities vis-a-vis funding under the Technology Partnerships Canada program.

And the Government Relations Leadership Institute is hawking half-day advocacy improvement courses for next May. Their speakers include Scott Thurlow and Huw Williams of Impact Public Affairs, former MP Joe Jordan, and former Privy Council employee Barbara Campbell.

...as a note to those in the know, GRIC offers seminars every year. In my own opinion, their courses offer merely the basics. These people will be some of the more prominent people in Ottawa Action Strategies and its Magnifiers will be watching.
