		<description><![CDATA[Senior Vice-President, Tax, The Thomson Corporation, Ontario]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most of us do all we can to minimize our contact with taxes, but <strong>Vance Sider</strong> has spent a career immersed in them. Vance has served on all sides of the tax arena: government, advisor and head of tax for a large corporation. After tallying and assessing with Canada Revenue Agency, he became a tax partner with KPMG, giving tax advice to an impressive list of large corporations. Since 2006, he has been head of tax for Thomson Reuters, managing a group of about 90 people in various locations worldwide.</p>
<p>But there is more to Vance than numbers and April deadlines. Family, golf, and reading help him balance the demands of managing and relating to a global team. In his talk <strong>“Top Gun Reveals His Secrets”</strong>, Vance will give glimpses into his life, business and relationship with God as he shares three things he has discovered to be the secrets to success.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Wealth Planning Lawyer, Ontario]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Akua Carmichael</strong> approaches each day with an eye on the future. As a wealth planning lawyer, she is a trusted advisor to high net worth individuals, but believes that estate planning is important for everyone. Akua is a sought after speaker for workshops and presentations that provide individuals the skills and impetus to navigate this somewhat daunting topic. Akua has published articles dealing with estates and trusts matters in “Advisor’s Edge Report” and she is a member of STEP (Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners).</p>
<p>Fluent in English, French, and Spanish, Akua juggles life as a wife, mother, and lawyer. Akua draws on her personal and professional experience to highlight that death is not to be ignored, but rather to be anticipated. She suggests that estate planning is a gift you give to others and eternal planning is the gift you give yourself. Akua’s engaging and honest presentation <strong>“Giving, the Ultimate Gift”</strong>, will give financial, relational and spiritual motivation to overcome fear and make time for what is truly important.</p>
