Balsillie honoured as “‘the outstanding business leader of the year” by WLU

You think a measly $100 million can break RIM Co-CEO Jim Balsillie? The day the Securities Commission dropped the bomb and are looking into that “accounting issue”… He took his day in stride, put on his game face and was given the “Outstanding Business Leader of the Year” award by Wilfrid Laurier University.

Joan Fisk, CEO of the Greater Kitchener-Waterloo Chamber of Commerce said “he is our boy. In this crowd, Jim has tremendous credibility.”
