Peter G. riGuardiPresident, New York OperationsJones Lang LaSalle
As President of the New York region for Jones Lang LaSalle, Peter Riguardi leads all operations for the company in the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut area. He is responsible for broadening the company’s New York platform by developing key client relationships, leading major projects,
maintaining senior real estate industry contacts and political relationships, and recruiting new talent. He oversees a team of approximately 1,700 professionals in seven offices throughout the tri-state area.
Under Mr. Riguardi’s leadership, Jones Lang LaSalle has established itself as a market leader in the New York metropolitan region, and the company’s market share, revenue and profitability have all increased substantially. Mr. Riguardi developed and implemented a program to expand the New York Leasing and Brokerage Business and Investment Sales Team, which included attracting top talent from the industry and combining it with its strong base to form a market leadership team. Mr. Riguardi serves on the Board of Governors for The Real Estate Board of New York and is an active member of the organization’s senior leadership. He is also on the Board of Directors of The Regional Plan Association, on the Board of The Rabin Medical Center of Israel, and is a member of The Partnership for the City of New York. Mr. Riguardi has been a leading New York City broker for over 25 years, with many of his completed transactions ranking as New York’s largest.
Prior to joining Jones Lang LaSalle in September 2002, Mr. Riguardi was Vice Chairman and Principal of Colliers ABR Inc., a company that he helped form in 1994. He started his real estate career at GVA Williams in 1983, where he was the youngest Senior Vice President in the firm’s history. During his 28-year career in commercial real estate, he has been actively involved in several of the largest and most noteworthy transactions in metropolitan New York City. Mr. Riguardi is consistently ranked by the New York Observer as one of New York’s most influential real estate executives. Mr. Riguardi holds degrees in marketing and finance from Iona College. He is a member of the Iona College Board of Trustees. In the past several years, Mr. Riguardi has been an honoree for The Rabin Medical Center of Israel, Met Council, Muscular Dystrophy, Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, Special Olympics, United Way, and The Police Athletic League.
Mr. Riguardi is married with four sons and resides in Rumson, New Jersey, and New York City. He enjoys spending time with his family and traveling in Europe when he is not in the office.
Thank you for joining us tonight to honor Peter G. Riguardi and support National Jewish Health, a global leader in the research and treatment of respiratory, cardiac, immune and related diseases.
Each year, hundreds of patients from the Tri-State Area travel to National Jewish Health seeking help from world-renowned specialists. Researchers break new ground each day in their laboratories, contributing to advancements in patient care that benefit every one of us, no matter where we seek care. Finally, National Jewish Health educates the next generation of healthcare specialists; in fact, there are almost 50 doctors in the tri-state area who were trained at National Jewish Health.
We would like to extend our congratulations to National Jewish Health for being named the #1 respiratory hospital in the country by U.S. News and World Report – for the 14th year in a row! The recognition is well-deserved.
Please take a moment to browse through your program and note the subscribers who helped make tonight possible. Help us to acknowledge all that they do to support National Jewish Health and to make tonight such a terrific evening.
Congratulations to Peter from all of us. To everyone here, thank you for coming tonight and thank you for your support!
Have a wonderful evening!

Our Mission since 1899 is to heal, to discover and to educate as a preeminent healthcare institution.
We serve by providing the best integrated and innovative care for patients and their families; by understanding and finding cures for the diseases we research; and by educating and training the next generation of healthcare professionals to be leaders in medicine and science.
Our Vision is to be the international leader in the research and treatment of respiratory, cardiac and immune diseases.
We pursue this vision by pioneering individualized medicine programs which embrace the paradigm shift from reactive medicine to proactive, personalized healthcare. These programs enable us to integrate the provision of outstanding patient care, the conduct of novel basic, translational, and clinical research, and the education of healthcare and research professionals. Through our efforts, we seek to achieve cures for patients who seek treatment and to bring new knowledge and discoveries to help people worldwide.

Our physicians and researchers are at the forefront of a new era in healthcare that embraces a personalized, preventive approach to medicine.
Thriving clinical and research programs at National Jewish Health are at the core of our success as a leading academic medical center. Through rigorous intellectual inquiry and intense scientific exploration, our physicians and scientists not only provide the best coordinated care anywhere; they enable patients and families to have access to the cutting-edge medical advance-ments discovered here.
Our approach benefits the world in significant ways. We find answers, and practically implement them, for children and adults with the most difficult respiratory, cardiac, immune and related diseases. Your support, especially valuable at this time, will help us continue to bring research and clinical care together on behalf of patients.
Your generosity also allows us to attract the very best doctors and scientists in training and practice to our clinics and laboratories. These leaders, in creating and advancing new scientific and medical knowledge, will continue to distinguish National Jewish Health throughout the 21st century.

ABOUT THE AIR SOCIETY(for Asthma, Immunology and Respiratory Medicine)
In 1991, a group of young professionals came together to form the New York AIR Society because some of them or their family members had been treated for asthma, allergies and/or immune system disorders at
National Jewish Health. This common tie gave them the inspiration to assist National Jewish Health in its efforts.
Since that time, the AIR Society has expanded to Washington, DC (DC AIR Society Benefit) and Denver (Cocktails & Karaoke).
The New York AIR Society is composed of a diverse group of ambitious young professionals from a variety of industries in New York. Since its
inception, more than $2.7 million has been raised to fund research, patient care, and clinical and educational programs at National Jewish
Health, the number one hospital in the country for respiratory medicine for 14 consecutive years, and is also rated one of the top 25 most influential
research institutions in the world. New members are always welcome.
In 2011, Jason Pizer, President of Trinity Real Estate, was the first honoree to receive the prestigious annual Irving Borenstein Memorial Award for his
distinguished leadership, in his industry. This year, the award will be presented to Peter Riguardi, New York Operations President of
Jones Lang LaSalle.
Each year, the Committee plans an exciting night for a great cause, with terrific food, drink, live music, dancing, short speeches, live auction, raffle
prizes and socializing. More than 350 professionals will gather for “The Sky’s the Limit” Cocktail Reception to honor a leader of devotion,
talent and integrity in their industry.
