Matt and Dan Walsh, co-chairmen of The Walsh Group, were presented with the 2020 Corporate Legendary Landmark Award from Landmarks Illinois at the 15th annual Legendary Landmarks Celebration.

In addition to the Corporate Legendary Landmark Award, Landmarks Illinois paid tribute to 2020 Legendary Landmark Honorees Timuel D. Black Jr., civil rights leader and educator; Joseph P. Gromacki, Senior Partner of Jenner & Block LLP.
“Whether it’s bringing forward stories of the struggle for civil rights, connecting people with resources or training them with new skills, our 2020 honorees shape our city — and its history — by investing in others,” said Bonnie McDonald, Landmarks Illinois President & CEO. “Landmarks Illinois is proud to honor their work as a model for others.”
