2019 Recap:
2019 opened for chapters with an exciting "fight club" style event called the Econo- Off. Chief Economist, Comerica Bank, Dr. Robert Dye, was on hand to provide a 2019 Economic Outlook. David Nemes (of TMA West Michigan) and Daniel Fuller (of ACG Western Michigan) then went toe to toe. Would the economy rise or fall in the next few years? The crowd was polled, arguments were made and votes were cast. David Nemes' predictions ultimately claimed the Heavy Weight Title by a small margin and with the aid of a pandemic.
Fast Forward to 2021:
The results are in and the economy has declined. But who could have predicted the pandemic? More importantly who can predict the path to an economic turnaround?
Join us as we welcome back Dr. Dye a second time and returning "fight club" contenders David Nemes (of TMA West Michigan) and Daniel Fuller (of ACG Western Michigan) who will once again take the stage to discuss the paths to growth. Traci Courter (of Mercantile Bank), will direct the conversation. Q & A to follow.
