Gordon Taylor and Conrad Lass of Ogilvy
Advancing IAPD’s Legislative Agenda in Washington
Presented by Ogilvy Government Relations– Gordon Taylor and Conrad Lass
Thursday, October 26, 2023 • 12:45 p.m. ­– 1:45 p.m.
With a split government in D.C. this past year, the performance plastics industry has not had to fight off threatening legislation as we did in recent years. This has given IAPD and its new government relations firm, Ogilvy Government Relations, an opportunity to set up introductory meetings with new key policymakers and footprint member offices in both the House and Senate to introduce and build upon IAPD’s Hill relationships and educate those offices about performance plastics. Ogilvy GR will present IAPD’s legislative agenda and strategy during this session as well as an outlook into what’s ahead in the coming election cycle.

For the past fifteen years, he has represented an impressive list of domestic and international companies and trade associations before the legislative and executive branches of government. Prior to joining Ogilvy Government Relations, Taylor held senior congressional staff positions that covered the political spectrum. He served as the chief of staff for a centrist Democratic member of the House Energy & Commerce Committee where he worked on a range of policy issues including energy, health care and telecommunications.
