Economic Advisory Board for Kansas City Area
The Helzberg School of Management, in conjunction with the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce and the Metropolitan Area Regional Council, created an Economic Advisory Board for the area. Representatives from the HSOM work with other board members to form an official Kansas City Economic forecast, which is delivered annually with quarterly updates. The purpose of the forecast is to help area industries and not-for-profit organizations plan for and absorb the impact of fluctuating business climates and economic conditions. Forecasts are presented each September on the Rockhurst University campus. For more information, contact Michael Stellern at (816) 501-4153 or michael.stellern@rockhurst.edu.
