  • The feedback from the dinner was excellent and thanks again for sharing your perspective with our clients.

  • Thank you for moderating our panel at the CFA Calgary Forecast Dinner and the ATB Luncheon. Feedback on both events has been very positive…you did a great job.

  • Your talk was thought-provoking and provocative, and will undoubtedly get many of your fellow Banff Forum members thinking more deeply about their rights and responsibilities as Canadian citizens. It was one of our most highly-rated sessions this year.
