The New Economy: Preparing Utah for the Future, the Utah Intergovernmental Roundtable Annual Summit

The current economic conditions are having significant ramifications for all of us and our organizations. It is easy to get caught up in how our 401Ks are doing today or how a program will be funded next year but the impacts of the changes will be felt in our communities for many years. This impact will result in a new economy and Utah must prepare for the new challenges. Utah Intergovernmental Roundtable Annual Summit will explore how the current economic crisis will impact our communities on a long term basis. Presentations by national and local experts will discuss how the new economy will influence decisions on housing, community planning, and transportation. In addition, national trends in housing and growth patterns will be discussed as well as how changing demographics will influence decisions.Confirmed speakers include:

• David Wyss, Chief Economist, Standard & Poor's
• Arthur C. Nelson, Ph.D., FAICP, Presidential Professor, College of Architecture + Planning, University of Utah
• Kristen Cox, Executive Director, Utah Department of Workforce Services
• Pamela Perlich, Ph.D., Senior Research Economist, Bureau of Economic Business Research, University of Utah
