Our March 25th Annual Economic Forecast with Dr. Anirban Basu is just around the corner. This registers as our 16th annual forecast and we’ve added some special incentives for you to register today. Please keep in mind that you must pre-register at gsvcc.org to save your seat.
The Forecast will kick-off promptly at 10 am. Aimee Buehner and I will very briefly welcome everyone and lay-out the format for the forecast which runs right up to 12 Noon. You’ll hear from two panel discussions. The first one (please watch the attached video for more details) will be moderated by Steve Stumbris of the Bucknell-SBDC.
Steve will have a conversation with Kendra Aucker, President & CEO of the Evangelical Community Hospital. Their focus will be on the recently announced partnership between Evan and the WellSpan Health System. It’s likely that you’ve gotten a few news snippets about this emerging partnership. However, this may be your first opportunity to take a deep dive into the partnership’s details.
A second panel will be broadcast from the Haddon Board Room at your Chamber. This panel will be a forecast primer right before we all hear from Dr. Basu. Expect to hear many details about our local economy and possibly some tips on what to listen for in the 16th Annual Forecast to follow immediately at 11:00 am.
Events such as the Forecast simply wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of our sponsors. Sponsoring this year’s forecast are: Geisinger, Northumberland National Bank, Weis Markets, UGI, and Evangelical Community Hospital.
Working together, our best days lie just ahead.
All the best,
Bob Garrett
