Come enjoy breakfast and listen to a very interesting speaker.  Jeff Sherman, a corporate and securities lawyer at Faegre Baker Daniels LLP will recount how years of doing deals, advising senior corporate management, and reading business books (sort of) prepared him to practice law in a war zone.  From September 2010 until July 2011, Jeff served at a small forward operating base near the Iranian border in Iraq as an officer in the Judge Advocate General's Corps of the US Army.   Jeff will talk about how he used the lessons he learned from Malcolm Gladwell, Michael Lewis, Peter Drucker, Jim Collins, Daniel Pink , Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner during Operation New Dawn.   Jeff experienced the challenges of building the rule of law, advising strong-willed commanders, and counseling emotionally fragile troopers-all of which have corresponding challenges in the corporate world.  The presentation will include videos, photos, and small prizes.

Come explore the newly opened Clyfford Still Museum and celebrate the holidays with DBS friends. We'll be one of the first private groups to enjoy an evening at Denver's brand new home for the complete collection of Clyfford Still, recognized as one of the leading Abstract Expressionists of the 20th Century. Experience his abstract forms and expressive brushwork on exceptionally large art pieces depicting the "human condition." Still's works were sealed off from public view in 1980. Denver's new, world class, Still museum houses over 800 paintings on canvas and 1500 drawings and limited-edition fine-art prints (95 percent of Still's entire output) most of which have not previously been displayed.
