On the back of Tuesday’s successful talk from Salim Tamari, Clare Politics brings you another must-see event, as Jodi Williams addresses the society.

As one of the first member’s of Barack Obama’s presidential campaign - a campaign which by now has reached the home straight - she helped catapult the relatively unknown Senator to presumptive Democratic nominee. Having focused on press logistics, executing events in the campaign field and managing and disseminating the Obama campaign message to national and international press corps, her talk will provide an invaluable first-hand account of the realities of presidential campaigning. What could be more topical?

In the past, Jodi Williams has been a consultant to both Henry Kissinger and former White House Chief of Staff Mack McLarty, personal aide to John Kerry, and has worked as a consultant with a group of international leaders to prepare a report on the global water crisis for the Clinton Foundation.

As is evident, this will undoubtedly be a talk of great relevance and interest from a speaker of huge experience in American presidential politics. It’s the perfect event in the run-up to the election, scheduled to take place on the 4th November.

Entrance is free (as always), and wine will be served. With the Bennett Room packed during last week’s talk, be sure to arrive early!

Monday 27th October, 8.45pm - Bennett Room, Memorial Court, Clare College
