FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Kathy Deck, director of the Center for Business and Economic Research at the Sam M. Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas, will present her regular Quarterly Business Analysis as a luncheon event on Friday, May 27.

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

“The Arkansas economy has been outperforming the national economy through the spring of 2016,” Deck said. “The Quarterly Business Analysis program will give attendees the chance to dive deeper into the key drivers of growth and to identify the trends that will affect the region in the future. Community leaders will get information about the most recent statistics and how the revised data affect our understanding of the economy.”

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 23, is required. Reservations can be made for the luncheon at cber.uark.edu or by calling 479-575-4151.
