www.inlandgroup.com - Recently, Inland Real Estate Corporation issued a press release stating that Daniel L. Goodwin turned over the chairmanship of Inland Real Estate Corporation to Tom D'Arcy who has served as an IRC board member for the past three years and had prior experience as a chief executive officer for various real estate companies, including another
publicly traded retail REIT.
Additionally, it was announced that Robert D. Parks turned over the CEO position to Mark Zalatoris, who had been the chief operating officer of IRC for the last six years and who has been with Inland Real Estate Corporation since its formation in 1994.
Dan Goodwin will remain on the board of directors of IRC so that he can serve as a resource to the company, and he remains the largest individual shareholder of IRC.
It should be noted that Dan Goodwin and Robert Parks have not given up any of their positions at various other Inland entities. Dan Goodwin will continue serving as chairman and CEO of The Inland Real Estate Group, Inc., chairman and CEO of the Inland Real Estate Group of Companies, Inc., chairman and CEO of Inland Bancorp, Inc., and chairman and CEO of Inland Mortgage Corporation.
Robert Parks continues to be a principal shareholder in Inland Real Estate Corporation and will remain as chairman of Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc., chairman of Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc., and chairman and CEO of Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation.
The recent moves at IRC were proposed by Dan Goodwin in order to further demonstrate that Inland Real Estate Corporation's board of directors was governing IRC independently while utilizing the services of Goodwin and Parks as resources. These recent changes in titles and positions better emphasize the nature of the relationship.
