Louisiana Economic Development Sponsors Itra

Chicago, Illinois (PRWEB) May 18, 2012
ITRA Global, one of the largest real estate organizations devoted to the representation of corporate tenants and occupiers of commercial real estate worldwide, has announced that Louisiana Economic Development (LED) will sponsor the ITRA Global 2012 Corporate Real Estate Symposium on September 12, 2012 at the Park Plaza Victoria London, 239 Vauxhall Bridge Road, in London, England.
Dr. Ronald R. Pollina, Chairman Emeritus of ITRA Global and President of Chicago-based ITRA / Pollina Corporate Real Estate, Inc., says the event will be a tremendous resource for company executives who must navigate a significantly changed global marketplace. ?Louisiana is an excellent example of the kinds of states that will be featured at the Symposium. Under the leadership of Governor Jindal, Louisiana has risen like a rocket. In 2008, Louisiana ranked 40th in our annual Pollina Corporate Top 10 Pro-Business States ranking, rising to 18th place in 2011. This phenomenal rate of improvement as a location for business places the state in a position to be a true international competitor for jobs,? he explains.
Stephen Moret, Secretary of Louisiana Economic Development, says Louisiana embraces the opportunity to share the state?s remarkable economic momentum with corporate executives from around the world at the ITRA conference in London.
?We’re excited about our opportunity to participate in the ITRA Global 2012 event and to share what’s made Louisiana the new frontier for business opportunity. In addition to transformational advantages in energy costs and supply, Louisiana boasts the most improved business climate in the U.S., and our strategic business incentives are attracting major corporate projects, such as CenturyLink’s headquarters expansion and GE Capital’s technology center, along with world-scale manufacturing investments from such companies as Nucor, Sasol, Sempra, SNF and ConAgra,? Moret explains.
Divided into two sessions, ?Doing Business in the Americas? is a premier all-day event featuring top corporate executives and economic development officials from around the world. One session will include economic development executives from government agencies in the Americas, who will address issues ranging from labor availability and costs, to transportation capabilities, taxation and much more for companies moving into their regions, along with other facility and location factors. The other panel, comprised of top global corporate executives, will help European companies understand how to increase their competitive advantage and profits with corporate real estate and obtain a better understanding of facility availability, build-to-suit and leasing vs. ownership options in the Americas today.

Caught Between Duty and Desire…Simon “Beau” Beaulieux oozed sensuality—from his bedroom eyes to his broad shoulders to his lilting Louisiana drawl. Kit Colfax knew the parish chief of police always got what he wanted, but to protect her future she couldn’t let him have his way…or her.Kit wanted to put Beau’s thieving cousin behind bars. Beau needed to stop her. Painful experience had taught Kit how powerful men operated…and manipulated. Well, not this lady. Not this time. Sure, Beau made her feel as she never had before. Made her want to trust him as he so unwaveringly trusted his cousin’s innocence. But was that a lover talking, or a deceiver bent on saving his family…whoever paid the price?EXCERPT:From Chapter OneIn a supple movement, Beau pushed back his chair and rose to his feet. Kit’s breath caught. Broad shoulders, narrow waist, lean hips, powerful thighs, all encased in perfectly tailored black evening clothes. His jet black hair fell disarmingly over one eye.

She grasped the edge of the table. He was way too close. So close, the heat and the scent of him surrounded her, smoky from the cheroot, a hint of spice and sandalwood cologne, and oh, so male.What was with her? She didn’t do men any more. They were demanding, selfish, shallow creatures, and hell on a woman’s career. With an unsteady hand she reached up and pushed her blonde hair behind her ear, so he could examine her earring. They were emerald-cut studs, matching the sapphires in the necklace.“Exquisite,” he murmured. His fingers softly collided with hers, then moved on to brush the outer shell of her ear. His warm
