Speaker: Erin Aleman is Executive Director of the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP). Appointed in June 2019, Aleman oversees an agency that employs more than 100 staff members who develop and implement recommendations in ON TO 2050, the long-range plan for northeastern Illinois. Aleman has more than 15 years of experience with developing transportation and landuse policies. She began her career at CMAP before moving to the Illinois Department of Transportation, first as a Bureau Chief and then Director of Office of Planning and Programming. In addition to being the first woman to serve as CMAP’s Executive Director, Aleman is also first professional planner to lead the agency. Crain’s Chicago Business recognized Aleman’s accomplishments by naming her to its 2019 “40 Under 40” list.
