2012 Corporate Growth Award
Lauralee Martin accepting the 2012 Corporate Growth Award

There is no question that the real estate industry is one of the sectors most affected by the financial volatility of the last few years. Most of the firms in the industry have declared success if they simply maintained their business. This is what makes the 2012 Corporate Growth Award winner even more impressive. As we reviewed all of the submissions for the year, this year's winner stood out as a key leader.

Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated is a Chicago based international real estate services company that provides a full range of real estate services from management and leasing to tenant representation and investment management. They have successfully grown through acquisition and weathered the economic downturn. It is because of that continued growth throughout these difficult times that ACG Chicago is awarding Jones Lang LaSalle with the 2012 Corporate Growth Award. The award will be accepted by Lauralee Martin, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial and Operating Officer of Jones Lang LaSalle.

Awards

These two awards were presented at the 12^th Annual Midwest ACG Capital Connection^®, October 18, 2011 at McCormick Place in Chicago.
