Chamber looks forward

The Austin Chamber of Commerce will be hosting Economic Outlook next Thursday, Dec. 6. The event is, according to a chamber press release, “the premier business and economic forecasting event of the year, attracting more than 600 attendees from the Austin region.” Speakers include Army Futures Command Deputy Commanding General Lt. Gen. James M. Richardson; Forcepoint CEO Matthew P. Moynahan; and Wells Fargo Securities LLC’s director and senior economist, Sarah House. Tickets can be purchased here. “The Austin region has experienced unprecedented economic growth over the last 15 years, but we cannot take this sustained growth as a given,” said Austin Chamber of Commerce President Mike Rollins. “It is important for us to understand the trends that are driving the economy both in Austin and nationally. … The health and performance of our economy impacts more than bottom lines of job creators, it means jobs and money to pay the bills for the entire Central Texas region. Comprehending what awaits us in 2019 is of the highest importance for the chamber and our region.”
