Heidi Daniel joined the Enoch Pratt Free Library as President and CEO in July of 2017. Ms.

Daniel is focused on leading the Pratt into the future by breaking down barriers of access for the people of

Baltimore and the state of Maryland. In 2018, she led the Pratt to becoming one of the first fine-free

public library systems on the East Coast. She managed the $115 million renovation and reopening of the

historic Central Library. Under her leadership, the Pratt was named one of the “Nicest Places in America”

by Good Morning America and Reader’s Digest. Ms. Daniel served as Executive Director of the Public

Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County in Ohio prior to moving to Maryland. In 2015, she was

named Ohio Librarian of the Year. Ms. Daniel worked in both the Houston Public Library and the

Metropolitan Library System of Oklahoma City earlier in her career.

Summary

  1. How can Baltimore show it can be the live-work-play destination its residents are looking for?

  2. How do local developers feel about the speculations about the merge between city and county?

  3. Have Opportunity Zones delivered what so many anticipated in terms of Baltimore's development and growth?

  4. What asset classes can we anticipate to boom, or to recede, in 2020?

  5. How can developers recession-proof their portfolios now, rather than later?
