The annual St. Louis Apartment Association’s Rising Stars Awards Banquet was held at the Westport Sheraton Chalet on April 24, 2009.  Charisse Earhart, the SLAA President and Mills Properties Senior Regional Manager, presided over the event where Mills had 35 nominations for awards!  I am pleased to say that our associates represented Mills very well that night and no one cheered louder than our group!  We won 9 awards, certainly something to be proud of!    Congratulations to all of our nominees and winners!  What a great evening and celebration of our outstanding talent – Go Mills!  (See pictures from the evening below)
