Description:
For the third consecutive year, HRANB Moncton is very proud to partner with the Frye Festival and this year we are hosting Ann Dowsett-Johnston. Winner of five National Magazine Awards, a Southern Fellowship and the Atkinson Fellowship in Public Policy, Ann is a gifted author and public speaker. A respected advocate in public policy matters, she has a distinguished track record in shaping a broad variety of dynamic publications. At Maclean’s, she was best known for pioneering the magazine’s system of ranking Canadian universities, overseeing the bestselling annual Maclean’s Guide to Canadian Universities and the Maclean’s University Graduate Survey. In 2006, Ann became the vice-president of McGill University, in charge of development, alumni relations and strategic communication. Ann’s bestselling book Drink: The Intimate Relationship Between Women and Alcohol was named one of the 10 best books of 2013 by the Washington Post. Ann’s presentation illuminates this startling epidemic, dissects the psychological, social and financial factors that have contributed to rise of alcohol consumption and abuse amongst women; and, she explores its long-lasting impact on our society and individual lives, including her own. Join us for a delicious breakfast buffet and meet Ann Dowsett-Johnston!
