MOV Economic Outlook Presentation by WVU College of Business

MOV Economic Outlook Presentation by WVU College of Business

THIS EVENT IS BOOKED TO CAPACITY AND WE REGRET THAT WE CAN'T TAKE ANY ADDITIONAL RESERVATIONS. 

 

Dr. John Deskins is the Director of Business and Economic Research and an associate professor at West Virginia University. His Economic Outlook reports for the State of West Virginia are very insightful and held in high regard by business leaders, legislators and municipalities.

 

We are honored that he is guiding a team of students in a new class at WVU this semester to prepare a regional economic study  and forecast report for the Mid-Ohio Valley.  And while you might be thinking that an economic presentation may be rather dry, please know Dr. Deskins is an entertaining and vibrant speaker. I'm confident he will mentor his students with the same characteristics. 

 

This will be a great in-depth and exclusive opportunity for our business community to hear firsthand from our State’s most esteemed economist and his students. 

 

Please join us for this special lunch presentation on Wednesday, April 25!

 

The lunch presentation will take place in Conference Rooms 100A & 100B in the Workforce & Community Education Building at WVU-P (Building 8 in the attached map: http://www.wvup.edu/current-students/life-at-wvu-parkersburg/campus-map/)

 

Lunch will be provided (please let us know on the registration form of any special dietary needs and we will do our best to accommodate those.) Pre-registration required and payment appreciated via credit card or check prior to the event.
