Just as there is a new top dog in the communications shop at Conservative PMO, there is a new communications top dog at the Conservative Party. Ryan Sparrow, I learned this afternoon, officially assumed the role of Director of Communications for the party on July 1. If there was a director of communications for the party before Ryan, I didn't know about it. In fact, I'll bet in his new job Ryan will be doing pretty much what he's been doing for the last year, i.e. dealing with us media types (that's him on the left in the picture “dealing” with the CBC's Keith Boag), but now he has a a decent title and (I hope) a decent salary.
Ryan's new job was announced in a message sent around by Doug Finley, the party's director of political operations and national campaign director. In that note, Finley also named Geoff Donald to be deputy director of political operations, effective August 1.
