IMEG President and CEO Paul VanDuyne has been named to the Midwest Commercial Real Estate Hall of Fame. The award is presented by Midwest REnews annually to industry veterans who have succeeded in even the most challenging market conditions, evolved with the commercial real estate industry, embraced new technology, and are engaged in their communities.  

Paul joined IMEG—then a small, Midwest firm known as KJWW—as its 16th employee in 1976. He rose to become president and CEO in 2003 and today oversees the national, employee-owned firm of more than 3,000 team members at more than 100 locations across the U.S. IMEG continues to expand through organic growth and strategic acquisitions.    

In addition to his contributions to the firm and the engineering industry, Paul has been involved in the Illinois-Iowa community of the Quad-Cities, where IMEG is headquartered. He has served on the boards of several local nonprofit organizations and currently is vice president of the board of trustees for Palmer College of Chiropractic. He is a member of the Design Futures Council, NSPE, IES, and AEE, and serves on IMEG’s Board of Directors. He is also a member of Strategic Coach and Chief Executive Network.
