Student of History

Dhillon is a lobbyist and Global Public Affairs expert who currently works at NA Consulting Services in Washington, DC. He has many years of experience in the corridors of power in Washington, where he is a former Senior Aide to President Bill Clinton and an award-winning member of the Hill & Knowlton International Public Relations firm.

Neil Dhillon is a graduate of The American University in Washington, DC, where he earned a degree in Political Science. He has maintained a keen interest in world history apart from what he studied in college, and says that it is important to study the past because it informs the present, and indicates what direction the country is headed in for the future.

Past events are, in many ways, a kind of laboratory that tells us why people behave the way they do in organized societies. Neil Dhillon believes that it is a serious error to ignore the past. The nation’s elected officials should consult history because it arms them with the knowledge they need to make educated decisions about the issues of the present.

A knowledge of the past is in many ways the duty of any informed citizen, Neil Dhillon believes. Solutions to present-day problems can reveal themselves through the insights gained by studying past issues. A public dialogue on is issues of the day requires everyone to honestly evaluate their own point of view and ask themselves why they believe what they believe. Examining the burning issues of earlier times can provide critical insights to their resolution, and can be applied to the present.
