Our Speaker

Steve Jarding, Lecturer in Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, is recognized as one of the world’s top experts in communication, campaign management, and strategic leadership. In 2016, Jarding was voted Teach of the Year at the Harvard Kennedy School. He has lectured or consulted in over 25 countries in Asia, Africa, South America, and Europe, and has won an impressive list of US Senate and gubernatorial races. In 1996, Roll Call magazine named Jarding one of the most influential political people in Washington, and in 2002 The New York Times Magazine profiled Jarding as someone who wins races in places he is not supposed to win. His management of Warner’s 2001 gubernatorial race was hailed as the best run campaign in America and his work in Webb’s 2006 win over Senator George Allen was called the biggest upset victory in America. In 2012, the Financial Times published an extensive article on Steve Jarding’s teaching methods at Harvard. He is coauthor of the book “Foxes in the Henhouse.”
