Lauren Dueck was the director of strategic communications for the O’Neill Institute, where she oversaw media outreach and communications priorities and led the communications team.
Before she joined the O’Neill Institute, Dueck was the senior communications manager at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, as well as the executive producer of Carnegie’s podcasts.
