Leading economists share insights on local and global economic trends at Chamber’s State of the Economy event

The Greater Oklahoma City Chamber welcomes Dana M. Peterson, chief economist for The Conference Board, as the featured keynote during its annual State of the Economy event. The event will be Nov. 8 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum.

State of the Economy is an opportunity for Chamber members and the community at large to stay informed on Oklahoma City’s economy. Attendees hear directly from expert economists on trends in the local and national economy, as well as on issues impacting the global economy.

Dana M. Peterson  has established herself as a visionary and the go-to expert providing insightful analysis and predictions to corporations, associations and government organizations looking for foresight into how economic drivers might impact their businesses in the short- and long-term.

In addition to serving as chief economist of The Conference Board and as a member of its Executive Committee, Peterson also leads the organization’s U.S. Economy, Strategy & Finance (ESF) Center. With over two decades of experience in the field, she serves as the globally recognized think tank’s public face and primary spokesperson on all things related to the economy.  

Peterson joined The Conference Board from Citi, where she spent close to two decades — first as a North America economist and later as global economist. At Citi, she led the production of macroeconomic forecasts and analysis for the United States and Canadian economies focused on political, monetary fiscal and financial market trends.

State of the Economy will also include a panel discussion from several regional economists on issues that are particularly important to our state.

Tickets are $60 for Chamber members and $85 for nonmembers. To register or learn more, visit okcchamber.com/soe. Sponsor tables of eight with additional recognition are available for $1,600. Please contact Suzette Ellison Jordan at [email protected] for table sponsor inquiries.
