OVERVIEW:

Donald Trump is once again the President of the United States. He has signed an executive order imposing 25% tariffs on goods imported from Canada by American firms. While Canada may retaliate with its own tariffs and take other measures, this development is undeniably unwelcome news for the Canadian economy. Join Timothy A. Brown, CEO of ROI Corp, for this informative session on this timely topic!

His broad experience in dental practice systems, including: appraisal, brokerage, leasing, and practice management, together with a close scrutiny of a database of thousands of Canadian dental practices has given him an unequalled view on the many unique circumstances involved with dental practice ownership and transition.

Timothy’s articles have been published in Ontario Dentist, Journal of the Canadian Dental Association and Dental Practice Management. He has delivered over 250 Continuing Dental Education seminars, including presentations at the faculties of dentistry of the University of Toronto, University of Western Ontario, Dalhousie University and McGill University.

Timothy is a Registered & Licensed Ontario Real Estate and Business Broker (Principal). He also voluntarily completed the Ethics and Business Practice course from the Real Estate Institute of Canada. He clearly understands dentists and has his finger firmly on the pulse of the dental practice marketplace in Canada.
