Fair Value:
Fair Value Measurement and Reporting in The U.S.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is establishing a new fair value standard, aligning the U.S. with its global counterparts.

In this Forum, those who were involved in the development and oversight of Gallery Place, a one million square foot office, residential and retail complex that opened in 2004, explain the dramatic rejuvenation, how the public/private partnership was created, the role tax increment financing/bonds played, the success of the new Metro station and Verizon Center and the area’s future prognosis. Moderator DAVID B. KETO, CRE [bio], Chief Operating Officer, NewTower Trust Company, will be joined by panelists DEBORAH C. NISSON, CRE [bio], Vice President, Ullico Investment Advisors, ERIC W. PRICE [bio], Executive Vice President, AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust (former Washington, DC Deputy Mayor 1999-2004) and THOMAS W. WILBUR [bio], Senior Vice President, Akridge.
