What We Will Talk About

How to talk Governments

Bonnie Staples-Lyon of Argyle is an expert in preparing, managing, and helping companies talk and engage with their stakeholders.  One of your most essential and influential stakeholders is usually a government, and you need to know how to communicate with them in their language.

Facilitator

Bonnie Staples Lyon, Director of Public Affairs & Stakeholder Relations at ChangeMakers

Bonnie Staples-Lyon has worked for and advised all levels of government, including provincial, civic, municipal, and federal. Bonnie is now a member of the Argyle team, one of Canada’s largest independent full service communication firms. She now advises and prepares strategies of large corporations and organizations on public policy, communications, crisis management, and strategic planning for several major public policy initiatives. She has also developed her own niche within the company for government relations.  Knowing how government and legislation works and what government needs to hear, not what organizations what to tell them, is the key to any success.
