She was also named one of the Top 50 influencing Canada’s foreign policy in 2021[13] and 2023.[14] She was also listed as one of the top 30 consultant lobbyists in the Hill Times in 2023.[15] On May 26, 2015, Greenwood appeared before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development as part of its study of the 2015 North American Leaders Summit.[16] On March 16, 2021, Greenwood appeared before the House of Commons Special Committee on the Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States.[17]
