“I am looking forward to presenting the latest economic information about the Arkansas and Northwest Arkansas economies to our community leaders,” Jebaraj said. “The program will highlight new economic data like GDP growth, unemployment rates, personal income, and population estimates and dive deeper into the underlying trends that will affect the economic expansion in the state and region over the near term.”

The Quarterly Business Analysis program builds networks of leaders from business, academic and governmental sectors in the region while addressing business highlights of the previous quarter, key economic trends and projections and immediate and long-term issues facing the regional and state economy.

The program lasts for approximately 75 minutes, including time for questions and answers. The cost for the Quarterly Business Analysis program and luncheon is $40. Preregistration by Friday, May 19, is required. Reservations can be made for the luncheon at cber.uark.edu or by calling 479-575-4151.
