FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Kathy Deck, director of the Center for Business and Economic Research, will present her regular Quarterly Business Analysis as a luncheon event on Friday, May 8. Deck’s popular sessions feature business highlights of the previous quarter, key economic trends and projections and immediate and long-term issues facing the regional and state economy.

“Throughout the spring of 2015, we have been receiving new information about the trajectory of the Northwest Arkansas economy,” Deck said. “Many of the most important economic data series have been significantly revised and this Quarterly Business Analysis program will give our leaders a chance to get up to speed on the trends that will affect the region over the near term.” 

The event will be held at 11:30 a.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn Fayetteville, 1325 North Palak Drive, Fayetteville.

The purpose of the Quarterly Business Analysis program is to build networks of leaders from business, academic and governmental sectors in the region. The goal is solid and sustainable economic development in Arkansas. The program will last for approximately 75 minutes, including time for questions and answers. The cost for the Quarterly Business Analysis program and luncheon is $40. Preregistration by Monday, May 4, is required. Reservations can be made for the luncheon at http://cber.uark.edu/ or by calling 479-575-4151.
