April 24, 2008
Millennium Biltmore Hotel
Los Angeles, California
As Co-Chair of the USC 2008 Symposium on Real Estate Law and Business (held April 24th at the downtown Los Angeles Millennium Biltmore), and President/CEO of The Ratkovich Company, we are writing to urge you to attend this year's conference. With six dedicated sessions focusing on development and planning, it promises to be the most important real estate law and business conference you will attend this year. We have attended many such conferences, and are confident the 2008 USC Law conference will exceed expectations.
Through the day, we'll have over 60 nationally renowned speakers who will fill you in on the latest developments in this changing market. While the USC Real Estate Law and Business conference is always the top law and business conference in the area, the 2008 conference promises to be a show stopper.

Infrastructure 2008 Save the Date!
 |
May 15, 2008
7:30 am 9:30 am
Location: TBA
Infrastructure 2008: A Competitive Advantage is the second of the Urban Land Institute's annual reports on international infrastructure. While last year's report examined broad issues facing countries and regions globally, this year's update focuses the importance of infrastructure to a city or a country's economic competitiveness. Globally, the report looks at Western Europe, Asia, and North America with special attention paid to fast growing urban regions in China and United Arab Emirates. Domestically, ULI commissioned research on 23 metropolitan areas to determine whether their long range plans are capable of accommodating the large population increases expected over the next 30 years. The results are varied but several patterns have emerged. This year's report also continues to examine issues related to the funding of infrastructure. The funding issue will become increasingly important as the United States heads towards the next iteration of the Highway Trust Fund. Infrastructure 2008: A Competitive Advantage will be released in early May at ULI's Spring meeting in Dallas.

Living Into Leadership: A Journey in Ethics" with Buzz McCoy
May 22, 2008
7:30 am 9:30 am
The National Center for the Preservation of Democracy
111 N. Central Ave
Los Angeles, CA 90012
Over the past few years, the business world has been wracked by corporate scandals. With news of a new scandal an almost weekly occurrence, one cannot help but wonder: "Is business success synonymous with a lack of morality?" With a resounding "no," Bowen H. "Buzz" McCoy, former partner at Morgan Stanley, shows that ethical business leadership is possible and, moreover, desirable. Seeking inspiration from an eclectic range of sources, such as Dante, Kant, and Peter Drucker, and drawing from his own career as a successful investment banker, the author examines how business leaders - and those who aspire to be business leaders - can flourish in a corporate environment without shedding personal values or compromising integrity. Living Into Leadership: A Journey in Ethics is based on the author's actual life experiences, personal ethical dilemmas, and concerns.
