2007 PORTRAIT/HOMAGE/EMBODIMENT
Modern and contemporary artists have taken different approaches
on traditional portraiture where physical likeness is emphasized;
some also explore different ways to convey the presence of an
individual. Some works invite a physical experience, where others
encourage the viewer to imagine the lives and identities of
the portrayed rather than focus on physical features. Works
by artists: Chuck Close, Alberto Giacometti, Roni Horn, Jeff
Koons, Jacques Lipchitz, Bruce Nauman, Medardo Rosso, Doris
Salcedo, George Segal, Cindy Sherman, and Andy Warhol.

Aron Ralston: Mountaineer, Author & Survivalist What started
out as a routine hike, turned nearly fatal when he was trapped
under an 800 lb. boulder 100 feet down in a narrow Utah “slip”
Canyon. After six days of hell, trying everything possible to
free himself, he videotaped his goodbyes to family and friends
before doing the unthinkable… and thankfully lived to share
his story with us!

GREATER ST. LOUIS TOP 50 ANNUAL AWARDS
DINNER
The Greater St. Louis Top 50 is an awards program presented
by the St. Louis RCGA in conjunction with the St. Louis office
of Deloitte. While our Top 50 program had traditionally focused
on technology-related companies, we have expanded the program
to recognize companies in all industries. Fifty winning companies
will be selected based on their significant contributions to
the St. Louis region and how they have positively affected the
future of our business community. There are several ways a nominee’s
economic impact will be measured. These include, but are not
limited to, growth in number of employees, enhancement of the
community, revenue growth, acquisitions and expansion/development
of facilities.
Winners of the 2006 Greater St. Louis Top 50 will be recognized
and presented an award. This first-class event provides an excellent
opportunity to celebrate successes and network with other members
of our business community. We hope to see you there!
