Putting the Pieces Into Place
For the final monthly luncheon this season, the Seattle Economics Council is pleased to welcome Maud Daudon, a Seattle Chamber of Commerce board member and President and CEO of Seattle-Northwest Securities (SNW), who will join us to present, "Creating A Job-Growing Economy." The luncheon will be held on Wednesday, June 10th at 11:30 at Ivar's, Pier 54 in Seattle. (To register, click here.)
This season, we have been hearing not only from some of the leaders of the Puget Sound economy's key sectors--transportation, high tech, online retail, aerospace, energy--but also from those who are looking into the future to understand what it will take to help the economy to regain its balance. As the year draws to a close, we examine the issue that for many is the bottom line: how can we continue to ensure that the economy will produce the types of jobs that will adequately support working families, maintain consumer spending and continue to attract talent to the region?
