OPBA Talks

Format: Interactive Zoom meeting
Registration closes on April 2, 2025 at 12 PM

The Ontario Public Buyers Association (OPBA) is hosting part 2 of our OPBA Talks session on navigating U.S. tariffs. Following the engaging discussion in Part 1 of OPBA Talks: Preparing for U.S. Tariffs, this follow-up session will continue the conversation, diving deeper into the evolving landscape of potential tariffs and their impact on public procurement.
 
Key Topics for Discussion:

• Member experiences and approaches since the initial session
• Strategies implemented leading up to April 2 to mitigate risk
• Procurement strategies for mitigating risks and financial impacts

 This session will again bring together a panel of experienced public procurement leaders to provide insights and facilitate discussion. As with Part 1, this is not about having all the answers—it’s about creating a space for OPBA members to collaborate, share experiences, and support each other in navigating these challenges.
 
Panelists:

• Sunita Chander (Supply Ontario)
• Eleonora Filippone, Legal Counsel (City of Mississauga)
• Joanne Graham (City of Ottawa)
• Carol Izzio (Sheridan College)
• Kristin Misurka (Region of Peel)
   

 This session is free for OPBA members.
