A group of economists in the Birmingham area is in the process of establishing a new Alabama Economics Club where we can gather, learn, network, and share ideas on a regular basis.  We will be the Alabama Chapter of the National Association for Business Economics (NABE).  NABE is the premier professional association for business economists and those who use economics in the workplace.
 
Our first meeting will be on Monday, February 14, 2011 at the Federal Reserve Branch office, 524 Liberty Parkway (just past the Statue of Liberty at the Liberty Park Exit, #23, on I-459).  We will gather at 11:30AM and eat lunch at Noon.

Our inaugural speaker will be Dr. Carol Garrison, President of UAB, and she will be talking about the recent analysis of the Impact of UAB in the Birmingham Economy.

The luncheon will conclude at 1 PM.
