June Program Luncheon to Feature Olympic Gold Medalist Jason Lezak 
 
Lisa

Please join us on June 9th at the Blackstone Hotel (626 S. Michigan Ave.) as we welcome Olympic Gold Medalist swimmer Jason Lezak. Lezak is best known for anchoring the US men's 400-meter freestyle relay team in the 2008 Olympic games in Beijing--stealing the Gold from the French. He also dominated the last leg of the 4 x 100 Men's Medley Relay, winning the Gold for his team and securing Michael Phelps' record 8th Gold medal.
His talk will center on maintaining a work-life balance, teamwork, leadership and dedication and commitment through adversity.
All recent (past 3 years) RPA designees will be recognized at this event and will be offered a half-price ticket.
550 West Washington (Jones Lang LaSalle), 191 N. Wacker (Manulife Financial), and the Aon Center (Jones Lang LaSalle) will each be recognized for their 2010 Regional TOBY wins.
 
If you are interested in sponsoring this event, please email Matt Smith at msmith@bomachicago.org for more information.
