Autorenporträt
BETSY MCGREGOR, DVM, spent sixteen years crafting public policy on science, ethics, and gender, including fellowships at Harvard Medical School and Harvard Kennedy School. She then entered politics to have a direct impact on issues at the decision table. She caught the bug for politics from her mother, who had been invited by Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson to run for Parliament. Betsy ran for nomination three times and Parliament twice (2004, 2008, 2011), learning lessons on timing, strategy, and skills, which she shares in running campaign schools, nomination races, and leadership workshops. A member of three women's leadership boards, Betsy wrote Women on the Ballot to equip, empower, and inspire women by telling her story and the story of over 90 women trailblazers. She lives on Clear Lake in the Kawarthas.
