Assistant campaign organizer for team Denis Coderre
Borough of Saint-Laurent
“As director and candidate during the said 45-day election period, I was fortunate to count on an experienced person with a talent for organization, task assignment, schedule management and especially problem solving. Ghada doesn’t shy away from a dilemma and any challenge becomes a reason for success and achievement for her. During the two days of voting, Mrs. Khalife was the sole leader of a team of 100 people. Both her logistical skills and her analytical sense make her an indispensable member of the team. Our experience was great. Anyone who will have the opportunity to work with Ghada will be able to give the same testimony.”
