Episode 4 - Staffing the Leader with Tracey Sobers
Manage episode 342009633 series 3387837
Today’s certified persister is Tracey Sobers.
Tracey was born in the UK before moving to Saint John, New Brunswick as a child and Ottawa, Ontario as a teenager. She was raised in a family where politics was talked about around the dining room table and everyone was expected to have an opinion.
As she began her career in communications, she remained interested in the events of the day and became more involved in political action, including attending anti-apartheid marches.
Tracey joined the office of Ontario Liberal Leader Dalton McGuinty after his 1999 election loss and was by his side during all three of his election victories in 2003, 2007, and 2011.
Tracey joins us today to talk about how she got involved in politics, what it takes to be an executive assistant to the Premier, and how we can encourage more women to get involved in civic life.
