Martin Millspaugh, a pioneer in downtown redevelopment, spent nearly a quarter century overseeing the rebuilding of Baltimore’s Charles Center and Inner Harbor. Later, he formed a partnership with James Rouse to advise on the replication of the Inner Harbor projects in other cities all over America and the world. Virtually every city with a "festival market" in what was once a decayed downtown area owes that success to the Baltimore model.

Gen. Barry McCaffrey (Ret.), former national Drug Czar, retired four-star Army general and well-known television news commentator on military and national security topics. At the time of his retirement from active duty, McCaffrey was the most decorated four-star general in the Army. He is currently on the faculty at West Point.

Barry LePatner, author of Broken Buildings, Busted Budgets: How to Fix America’s Trillion-Dollar Construction Industry. LePatner’s book has stirred controversy with its thesis that construction is "the last remaining ‘mom and pop’ industry…rife with inefficiency and waste costing the nation over $120 billion annually."

CMAA Leadership Forum will offer 26 Professional Development sessions on a wide range of topics. In a further enhancement for 2008, many of the tracks will be designated as appropriate for specific career stages among attendees, including "Career Foundation," "Mid-Career" and "Senior Career." Persons interested in making a presentation proposal should contact the CMAA Professional Development Department at 703-356-2622.
