Contact: John McKeon jmckeon@cmaanet.org

The Construction Management Association of America (CMAA) will offer Charles Thomsen and Sid Sanders’ Program Management 2.0 in two e-book formats, signaling the beginning of a new era for CMAA and its publications.

This is CMAA’s first venture into the e-book/e-reader market.  Versions are available for the Amazon Kindle reader as well as for iPad, Nook, and other devices.

Program Management 2.0 is Thomsen and Sanders’ new book that expands upon the milestone foundation that Thomsen’s Program Management: Concepts and Strategies for Managing Capital Building Programs first established in 2008. “The industry has continued to evolve,” the authors comment. “New information technology enables concepts that were theoretical just a few years ago. Cost control pressure has brought new demands for efficient practices, better controls and improved connectivity. Yet many of the old issues still remain.”

As in 2008, the authors have assigned the copyright and all revenue from the new book to the CMAA Foundation to aid in promoting education, research and career promotion in Construction Management.

Program Management 2.0 is available through CMAA’s online bookstore (www.cmaanet.org/cmaa-bookstore) at a price of $25 for members and $35 for non-members. The paper edition of the book is also available, priced at $45 for CMAA members and $60 for non-members. Academic pricing is available. For details, contact the Foundation.
