The Federal Reserve has a new president. Energy prices are volatile. The
effects of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita are still playing out. What does it
all mean for the nation’s -- and region’s -- economy?
Sam Thomas, senior lecturer in the Weatherhead School of Management’s
banking and finance department, will place recent business and financial news
in context and look ahead to 2006 at the Weatherhead School’s 32nd annual
David A. Bowers Economic Forecast Luncheon. The lunch, sponsored by the Weatherhead
Alumni Association, will be held Friday, December 9 at The Marriott at Key
Center, 127 Public Square, Cleveland. Registration will begin at 11 a.m., with
lunch served at 11:30 a.m. and Thomas’s talk starting at 12:15 p.m.
The luncheon is named in honor of Bowers, former chair of the Weatherhead
School’s department of banking and finance. Bowers, now a professor emeritus,
formerly made the annual forecasts, and hand-picked Thomas to assume forecasting
duties. Thomas teaches courses in corporate finance, investments and international
finance at the Weatherhead School.
Also on the menu of events for the day will be the Weatherhead Distinguished
Alumni award. The 2005 award will go to Joseph A. Sabatini, managing director
of JP Morgan Chase & Company and a 1981 graduate of the Weatherhead School.
The lunch is open to the public. Tickets are $50. Reservations or further
information are available by calling 216-368-5101, or by going online at http://weatherhead.case.edu/ and clicking on the appropriate link under “event calendar.”
