Nay, former vice president of real estate for Macy's Inc., fills the vacancy created with the retirement of Leo Fields, who had served on CBL's board since 1993.

"He is certain to bring a unique and meaningful perspective. We look forward to Gary's contribution to the continued success of our company," said Charles B. Lebovitz, CBL chairman of the board.
