Alumni Association to Honour 카지노 게임 컬렉션śWorld's Most Admired Central Banker카지노 게임 컬렉션ť

David Dodge, Arts카지노 게임 컬렉션™65, LLD카지노 게임 컬렉션™02, faced many challenges when he was the Governor of the Bank of Canada from 2001 to 2008. He steered Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션™s economy through the Sept. 11 terror attacks, the financial problems following the burst of the dot-com tech bubble, and the U.S. housing market crisis that triggered a worldwide recession.

Keeping Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션™s economy strong while many other countries struggled during the final few years of his tenure is one of the reasons he was called 카지노 게임 컬렉션śthe world's most admired central banker카지노 게임 컬렉션ť in a 2007 Toronto Star article.

카지노 게임 컬렉션śWe had to be careful,카지노 게임 컬렉션ť says Dr. Dodge, who worked with the central banks of other countries to fight the snowballing effects of the U.S. housing market collapse. 카지노 게임 컬렉션śI spent a lot of time dealing with the financial problems building during 2005 and 2006. Growth was strong in Canada through 2007 and the first half of 2008. But the rest of the world was going down.카지노 게임 컬렉션ť

Dr. Dodge feels his most important decision during his Bank of Canada tenure was to recruit Mark Carney as the next governor. Mr. Carney was so successful that he was dubbed a 카지노 게임 컬렉션śbanking rock star카지노 게임 컬렉션ť and named one of Time magazine카지노 게임 컬렉션™s 100 most influential people in the world for helping Canada out of the recession faster than any other G7 nation.  

카지노 게임 컬렉션śI worked hard to recruit Mark (a former Goldman Sachs economist) to join the bank so we would have somebody with real financial experience in the bank,카지노 게임 컬렉션ť says Dr. Dodge. 카지노 게임 컬렉션śThat proved to be one of the most important things I did.카지노 게임 컬렉션ť

Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s School of Policy Studies adjunct professor and former chief economist at the Toronto Dominion Bank Don Drummond, MA카지노 게임 컬렉션™77, LLD카지노 게임 컬렉션™10, describes Dr. Dodge as a governor who provided steady-handed leadership. He has known Dr. Dodge for more than 40 years, and says he is one of the 카지노 게임 컬렉션śrare breeds카지노 게임 컬렉션ť who combines a deep understanding of economic theory with the ability to apply it to real-world issues. 

After leaving the bank in 2008, Dr. Dodge returned to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s to take up the volunteer position of chancellor because he wanted to give back to the community that gave him so much. One of his favourite duties was presiding over convocation. He says he loved personally congratulating each graduate who crossed the stage, playing a small part in one of the happiest moments of a student카지노 게임 컬렉션™s life.

His five decades of public service and support of the university are the reasons he is receiving the Alumni Achievement Award on April 6, the highest honour bestowed by the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s 카지노게임사이트 Alumni Association (QUAA). The award is presented annually to an alumnus/alumna who has made significant lifetime contributions to society and is recognized as a leader in their community or field of work.

Dr. Dodge is honoured to receive the award and join an impressive list of recipients that includes NASA astronaut Drew Feustel, PhD카지노 게임 컬렉션™95; Peter Milliken (the longest-serving Speaker of the House of Commons), Arts카지노 게임 컬렉션™68; and former Princeton 카지노게임사이트 President Shirley Tilghman, Arts'68, DSc'02.

Former chair of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s Board of Trustees Barb Palk, Arts카지노 게임 컬렉션™73, is happy the QUAA is honouring Dr. Dodge.

카지노 게임 컬렉션śDavid adds to the impressive legacy at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s of developing leaders who go on to help shape Canada,카지노 게임 컬렉션ť says Ms. Palk. 카지노 게임 컬렉션śHe deserves the Alumni Achievement Award. He has always been close to the professoriate, gregarious with the students, and he카지노 게임 컬렉션™s a great prof who taught me a lot.카지노 게임 컬렉션ť

Dr. Dodge is one of 12 people and one organization being honoured at the Awards Gala on April 6 in Kingston at Ban Righ Hall.
