CG/LA Infrastructure LLC is an infrastructure strategy and development firm based in Washington, D.C. The company focuses on infrastructure project creation and the performance of existing infrastructure stocks in developed and developing countries alike. CG/LA sees infrastructure strategically, in 20-30 year terms, as a critical source of competitive advantage, for countries, cities and companies. In addition CG/LA is increasingly focused on what Mr. Anderson believes is a national security requirement, namely to triple the level of infrastructure investment in the U.S., particularly through the creation of a National Infrastructure Bank. In fact, this is the central theme of his "Outlook for Infrastructure" chapter in the recently published book North America 2025.

Among other core CG/LA initiatives is the Global Infrastructure Leadership Forum, now in its second year, featuring the Top 100 strategic global infrastructure projects. Another major activity is the annual Latin American Leadership Forum highlighting the largest infrastructure projects in South America, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean region. The Forum's sixth annual event was held in Miami in April 2008 and highlighted infrastructure projects totaling over $60 billion across 10 sectors.

In March 2006 the Latin American Leadership Forum was held in New Orleans and was one of the first major conferences held in the city following Hurricane Katrina with over 400 participants. In his remarks at the October 21 luncheon program, Mr. Anderson will discuss the possibility of New Orleans again hosting the Forum in the spring of 2009.

Mr. Anderson has a graduate degree from Harvard University and an undergraduate degree from the University of Virginia. He served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Paraguay and is currently a member of the Bretton Woods Committee. He speaks fluent Spanish, Portuguese, and Guarani.
