Sunbelt Builders Show

OPENING SESSION Thursday, October 29, 1:15 - 2 p.m.
	Heisman Trophy winner, Super Bowl MVP and Pro Football Hall of Famer Roger Staubach generated excitement every time he took a snap from center. Roger played his entire 11 years of professional football with the Dallas Cowboys, leading the team to four Super Bowls and achieving victories in Super Bowls VI and XII. His pro career culminated in his selection into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985, his first year of eligibility. Staubach has carried over the same winning attitude from his successful football career into his business career. In 1977, Roger entered the commercial real estate industry, forming The Staubach Company. Over the years, he expanded services to meet clients’ ever-changing requirements and grew to 1,600 employees serving 3,000+ clients from 70 North American offices.
In July 2008, The Staubach Company merged with Jones Lang LaSalle where Roger serves as Executive Chairman, Americas. *Brought to you by Mid Continent* *Open to all registrants.*
