Education
Judith Maxwell received her Bachelor of Commerce degree from Dalhousie University in 1963.[1] She then spent a year reading history and political science at the London School of Economics.[1]
Career
She started off as a researcher for the Combines Investigation Branch of the Federal Ministry of Consumer and Corporate Affairs.[2] From 1966 to 1972, she was a journalist at the Financial Times of Canada. From 1972 to 1979 she was Director of Policy Studies at the C.D. Howe Institute, focusing on economic and social issues.[2] From 1980 to 1985 she worked as an economics consultant, first, for Esso Europe in London, and then, in Montreal, for the economics practice at Coopers & Lybrand (later part of PricewaterhouseCoopers).[2][2]
From 1985 to 1992, Judith Maxwell was the Chair of the Economic Council of Canada. This council was established in 1963 with the main objective of creating a census to achieve social and economic goals via long-term and medium-term planning.[3] At the time of her appointment, government officials suggested to her that they felt the council did not have a significant impact on policy debates.[4] Her task was to make the council's reports more readable and to focus on the "human" issues.
From 1994 to 2005, she founded and became President of the Canadian Policy Research Networks. Her work here involved inviting provincial and federal officials, community leaders, and academics from a wide spectrum of disciplines—gathering them around the same table to encourage better policy making.[5]
She was a co-founder of Synapcity, "encouraging residents of Ottawa to learn how to implement change in their own community—by giving them the skills to solve problems at the local level across the city".[5][6]
Awards
Judith Maxwell has received Honorary Degrees from eight Canadian universities and a community college.[5] In 1993 she received the Public Policy Forum Award for Distinguished Service to Canada. In 1996 she was made a Member of the Order of Canada. In 2017 she received the Award of Distinction from the Ottawa Economics Association.
