“An Overview of the U.S. and Global Economies"

As the “recovery” drags into its fourth year, unemployment remains high and the economy is gasping for air. Looking at how the recession started will show us what our likely path is from here, and we will see how the government is probably making things worse in its attempts to stimulate the economy. We’ll also look at international developments as well.

Our presenter, Daniel C. North has been with Euler Hermes since 1996, using macroeconomic and quantitative analyses to help manage Euler Hermes’ risk portfolio of more than $150 billion in annual U.S. trade transactions. Prior to joining the company, Mr. North worked for Citicorp using similar analyses to create outperforming investment strategies. He has appeared on CNBC, Fox Business News, ABC News Now, France 24, and Bloomberg Radio and Television. He has been quoted by USA Today, Barron’s, Business Week, Washington Post, Paris Le Monde, AP and Reuters. In January 2010, he was ranked fourth on Bloomberg’s list of 65 top economic forecasters.

Following Dan’s presentation, the group will spend some time discussing issues during an open, roundtable discussion forum. Please list any challenges you could use some help in resolving on your reservation form.

and in the afternoon…
