Summary

Lauren Sheprow is a gifted communicator – so gifted, in fact, that she’s reanimated a long-dead lesson of American political science, brutally murdered by hate, ignorance and bullshit: Communication is always key. After decades of highest-level strategic communications (professional tennis tournaments, major regional hospitals, a SUNY flagship university and more), Lauren is the new mayor of the Village of Port Jefferson – an upset victory the political neophyte (and former professional racquetball player) credits to excellent connections and an innate understanding of effective messaging. In today’s episode, Lauren joins Spark host Gregory Zeller to discuss her well-constructed career, the tough act she’s following at Village Hall and the critical need for clear communications – with constituents, other lawmakers and everyone else – at every level of government.
