is a psychologist, educator and human resource professional. A chartered psychologist, Pat received her Ms.Ed. on counseling from Fordham University in New York City, and her Ph.D. in counseling psychology from the University of Calgary.

Robert G. Gray
also known as Backwards Bob, will amaze, entertain and inform you. He'll help you unlock your memory potential, become more efficient and effective, and have you laughing in the aisles while he does it. A strong believer in the capability of visually captivating images to improve memory, Bob may don a brightly coloured tutu and swimming cap to make an impression. Bob's presentations demonstrate his unique qualifications and the stage talents that have placed him in the Guinness Book of World Records. *
Bob Cunningham
is the newly appointed Executive Director of the industry sponsored Petroleum Safety Council (PSC). He has been an educator, trainer, safety supervisor, human resources practitioner, negotiator and consultant, and has worked with an integrated oil company, natural gas transportation and distribution companies, government agencies, and mining and manufacturing companies. Bob has assisted in successfully resolving industry/government issues in a number of sensitive areas, and comes to the PSC with the objective of helping make the Canadian petroleum industry a leader in safety performance in all industries.
Frank Ogden
is a futurist, known as Dr. Tomorrow. Author of the bestseller The Last Book You'll Ever Read and Other Lessons from the Future, Frank provides an insightful, and sometimes startling portrait of the future. A founding member of Canada's first think-tank, he has taught at the Ontario College of Art and the New England School of Art in Boston, and also managed a Montreal radio station. Financial Post Magazine describes Frank as a 20th century visionary and his ideas and deeds as outrageous - a necessary combination of qualities for a man who has led a life of profitable nonconformity. *
