It is with great pleasure that the Corporation Board announces the events to honor our most recent Significant Sig, David Speer, Chairman and CEO of Illinois Tool Works. Illinois Tool Works is a diversified global manufacturer of engineered products and specialty systems that in 2010 reported revenue of $15.9B.
We will honor David and his wife Barbara over the weekend of September 30 – October 2, 2011. The itinerary for the weekend will be as follows:

The attire for the banquet is business casual. Golf shirts and slacks will work nicely. If men would like to wear a sports coat, they are welcome to do so. However anyone caught wearing a tie will have it promptly removed or cut off.
