From the press release from the St. Louis Metropolitan Section of the American Planning Association:

APRIL 2007 APA-SLMS LUNCHEON
NORMAN K RUMHOLZ , FAICP
THE FUTURE OF THE PLANNING P ROFESSION

Our April speaker is Norman Krumholz. Mr. Krumholz is an internationally recognized figure in the planning community; a past
president of both the American Planning Association and the American Institute of Certified Planners; a past recipient of the APA award for Distinguished Leadership and a current AICP fellow. He’s held several noted planning positions in Pittsburgh, PA; Ithaca, NY; and Cleveland, Ohio, including Director of Planning for the City of Cleveland during the administrations of Carl Stokes, Ralph Perk, and Dennis Kucinich (who’s currently running for President of the United States; again).

Best known for his emphasis on neighborhood planning, Mr. Krumholz is a champion of community involvement in urban revitalization. He’s a widely published author on the subject with a devoted following among planning activists. Yet, Mr. Krumholz is widely respected across the political spectrum for his ability to negotiate common ground without yielding his principles. Additionally, Mr. Krumholz was instrumental in the development of the AICP cannon of ethics, something all current and future AICP members know or will come to know well. Come to hear him speak on the future of the profession.
