“Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men’s blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work …”
Those are the words of Daniel Burnham, the architect and city planner best known for planning the World’s Columbian Exposition held in Chicago in 1893 and later his “Plan for Chicago,” published in 1909.
Those words certainly seem to have been heeded by the leaders of the Greater Washington Partnership. This group, founded in December 2016, has set its sights on the broad swath of metropolitan growth including the Baltimore, Washington and Richmond regions. The leadership of the organization is drawn from the private corporate community, civic and educational institutions. Among the high-profile names on the group’s board from the Baltimore region are Kevin Plank, founder and CEO of Under Armour; Ronald Daniels, president of Johns Hopkins University; and Kenneth Samet, president and CEO of MedStar Health.
