Quarterly Business Analysis Breakfast
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The Center for Business and Economic Research in the Sam M. Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas is partnering with the Northwest Arkansas Chambers of Commerce to host the Quarterly Business Analysis on Thursday, Aug. 16. The breakfast event will be from 6:45 to 8 a.m. at the Clarion Inn, 1255 S. Shiloh Drive, Fayetteville.
Kathy Deck, director of the Center for Business and Economic Research, will present a program that provides statistical highlights for the second quarter of 2007, key economic trends, and short- and long-term issues facing the local and state economy.
The primary 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. “By disseminating data and explaining current economic trends, the center hopes to help community leaders make better decisions,” said Deck. “Good information is particularly critical in a time of changing economic dynamics, like the Northwest Arkansas economy is experiencing now.”
The program will last for approximately 60 minutes including time for question and answer. The cost for the Quarterly Business Analysis program and breakfast is $30. Preregistration by Monday, Aug. 13, is required. Reservations can be made online for the breakfast at: http://cber.uark.edu/ or by calling (479) 575-4151.
