RACC Economic Forecast 2021 Program

The chamber’s virtual Economic Forecast 2021 program on November 12 took a look back at 2020 and the economic impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, civil discord, devastating wildfires and a national election.  The expert panel of presenters explored these issues, and more, having significant economic impact on our businesses.  Presenters shared crucial information about ongoing impacts and trends to help assist members to strategically plan the best they can for 2021 and beyond.         This year’s noteworthy presenters include, John Tapogna, president of ECONorthwest (John was unable to join due to a last minute conflict, but thankfully, Robert Whelan a senior economist with ECONorthwest graciously stepped in), John Horvich, director of client relations and political research with DHM Research and we were pleased to welcome back, from a few years’ absence, member-favorite Brian Rooney, with the Oregon Employment Department.  This year’s virtual program, held on Thursday, November 12 from 9:00 to 11:15 am, was generously sponsored by Addcox Heating Center, Bowers Industrial, Gordon Wood Insurance & Financial Services, Inc., Lone Rock Resources, Roseburg Forest Products and Umpqua Bank.
