Alumni Association of Brome Lake presents "Annual Dinner with special guest Professor David Lank"

Wednesday, July 15, 2009 18:00
225 Avenue du Golf, 225 Avenue du Golf, Cowansville Golf Club, Cowansville, Quebec, CA

The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Alumni Association of Brome-Missisquoi extends a cordial invitation to graduates, family and friends to a cocktail reception and dinner.

Special guest speaker David Lank will present "Making Successful Mistakes."

Professor David Lank hopes you’ll screw up. In fact,
he hopes we all will, because he believes that failures and false starts are not common enough in our society. He argues that, rather than being harmful, mistakes are essential aspects of social progress and development. In order to improve as a society, he says, we must embrace and take inspiration from our weakest moments.

Please join Professor Lank, and his wife Ann Vroom, BA’67, past president of the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Alumni Association and a ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ governor, for a delightful evening of failure!

Director Emeritus of the Dobson Centre for Entrepreneurial Studies at the Desautels Faculty of Management, Professor David Lank hosts the TV series "Mini-Biz" on Canal Savoir, which, unfortunately, has been very successful. He has also failed in his quest to botch his business dealings and wreck three Centaur Theatre productions, resulting in a reputation as a perceptive businessman and a talented actor.

Sadly, Professor Lank has become one of the highest-rated professors in the Desautels Faculty of Management, where, to his horror, he was named Distinguished Professor of Graduate Studies. His
indignity was only deepened when he was made a member of the Order of Canada in 1996.
