The
Economy – What, When and Why?
The 2010 Economic Forecast
Join Beta Gamma
Sigma of New York City for an insightful and exciting discussion
of the economy from both a regional and global perspective.
In this past year we’ve experienced unprecedented business
failures, yeoman actions by the US government to “right”
both the economy and the financial and manufacturing sectors,
and global actions to mutually bring about a return to stability
and future growth.
Certainly no one
has a better perspective on the economic issues and potential
solutions (or alternatives) that the Federal Reserve. For this
year’s economic forecast, we’ve been fortunate to
bring to BGS-NYC the New York Fed’s Director of Regional
Affairs, and formerly their head of domestic and international
research, Erica Groshen. She will discuss “where the economy
is going and why?” Plenty of time will also be available
to attendees for specific questions and answers.
When:
Tuesday, January 19th, 2010
Where:
The Williams Club
24 East 39th Street (between Madison and Park)
NYC, NY
Time: Reception beginning 6:00PM
Price:
$35 BGS-NYC members, $45 Non BGS-NYC members and other guests
