Book signing and reception to follow

Admission is complimentary, but space is limited. Registration is required.

After returning from Korea, Leonard Adreon spent 36 years as the executive vice president of The Siteman Organization, a real estate management and development company based in the St. Louis suburb of Clayton, MO. In 1979, he was elected president of the Building Owners and Managers Association International in Washington DC, which represents the office building industry in the United States and across the globe. He represented the industry before a number of Senate and House committees, and earned a citation from the General Services Administration for advice on leasing and managing facilities throughout the world. A highlight was meeting President Ronald Reagan and working with his chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors, Murray Weidenbaum. St. Louis city and county leaders appointed Adreon to numerous committees and commissions serving his community. Adreon also took a leadership role in several major charities devoted to the welfare of children. Today, Adreon volunteers as a facilitator of writing classes at the Lifelong Learning Institute of Washington University in St. Louis. It is that work that encouraged him to tell his own story. Adreon met his wife, Audrey, a year after his return from Korea. They have three daughters and six grandchildren.

This literary discussion will be facilitated by Mark P. Taylor, Dean, John M. Olin School of Business.

This event is co-sponsored by Washington University's Olin Business School and Arts & Sciences.
