FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BFSB CEO to
Join Financial Times Journalist at STEP Caribbean Conference
TORONTO,
Ont. – March 22, 2010 – Wendy Warren, CEO and Executive
Director, Bahamas Financial Services Board, will join an
“all star panel” moderated by noted Financial Times
journalist Vanessa Houlder at the upcoming STEP Caribbean
Conference CC10 in Barbados this May. In a “no holds barred
Q&A session, Warren and her fellow panelists will discuss
the topic “Repositioning For Recovery”.
Top of mind
for any trust or financial services professional these days.
Ms. Houlder will turn the topic on its head, and panelists
will be asked for their honest assessments of what it will
take for IFCs to face and thrive in the future. Under fire
once again from the OECD, IFCs can also add a continuing
economic downturn to the list of “must deal with”.
Always a
key conference for trust professionals, the STEP Caribbean
Conference finds itself in Barbados this year in what
promises to be a watershed year for the conference.
Delegates from around the globe will join Caribbean trust
professionals from May 24 – 26 at the Hilton in Bridgetown,
Barbados.
Vanessa
Houlder has been part of the Financial Time’s economics
team, specializing in tax issues, since 2003. She has worked
as a journalist on the Financial Times since 1988 covering,
in turn, British companies, the commercial property
industry, technology, management and the environment. Before
joining the FT, she worked for the Investors Chronicle for
two years. She has a degree from Cambridge University and
has won journalism awards for writing about property,
science and technology. She was also LexisNexis Tax Writer
of the year in 2007.
The Step
Caribbean Conference, now in its 12th year,
promises to reposition trust professionals to recover in
2010. Along with lessons from the brilliant minds scheduled
to speak at this year’s conference, attendees will benefit
from networking with other professionals in their field;
they will gain knowledge for new business development; and
indulge in continuing education with noted Canadian
bestselling author of The Wealthy Barber, David Chilton.
Before
breaking to home school his children, David Chilton was one
of the most sought-after speakers in North America. He is
known for his unique combination of expert knowledge and
humour, which helps to take the intimidation and dryness out
of financial planning. Chilton’s new speeches aren’t about
just money; they’re about believing in yourself and
overcoming mistakes (many of his are truly hilarious). Above
all, his talks are about perspective – the missing
ingredient in many people’s lives and financial plans.
Wendy
Warren is the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director
of the Bahamas Financial Services Board (BFSB), an
organization devoted to increasing the development and
promotion of financial services in The Bahamas.
