Are we headed for a Recession or will it be a Near Miss? 

Our economy: It’s been a wild ride. Possibly the most challenging environment the region has seen in two decades or more.

Learn more about the state of the Inland Empire economy while connecting with the region’s diverse business community as The Business Press presents the 10th annual Economic Briefing on April 8 at the Ontario Convention Center.

 Noted economist John Husing will present his economic forecast for 2008. He will be joined by a panel of experts who will discuss what business leaders can do to improve their situations as we recover from the housing crash, and what to expect in the coming year.

 Panelists include:

• Steve Johnson, longtime building consultant and Southern California director of Metrostudy, the housing market research firm
• Mary Sullivan, a real estate consultant who has researched the Inland Empire’s industrial and office markets for 23 years
• Patty Senecal, director of government affairs for the International Warehouse Logistics Association, and the former vice president of Transport Express
• Larry Sharp, president and CEO of Arrowhead Credit Union, who will provide a review on changes occurring in credit markets and their implications for the health of the residential market in the Inland Empire.

 Attendees also will receive a copy of the Husing Report.
