Heyl, Royster, Voelker & Allen

We are excited to highlight Rex Linder, a valued member of the Heyl Royster team, who has dedicated decades of service as the chair of the Sister City Commission of Peoria. Rex has been instrumental in fostering international friendships and collaboration, embodying Sister Cities International's mission, founded in 1956 by President Dwight Eisenhower. ? Rex's contributions were celebrated recently at a special reception at the Creve Coeur Club, attended by notable speakers, including Peoria Mayor Rita Ali and former Mayor Jim Ardis. His leadership has significantly impacted Peoria's connections with its sister cities: Friedrichshafen in Germany, Clonmel in Ireland, Benxi in China, and Aytou in Lebanon. ? As Rex steps down from his role, we take a moment to reflect on the legacy he leaves behind, following in the tradition of dedicated leaders. We are excited to see Rex's ongoing influence and contributions to our community as he embarks on new endeavors. Thank you, Rex, for your exceptional service and commitment!
