UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES: THE POLITICIZATION OF CORPORATE AMERICA

February 16, 2012 from 7:30 AM - 9:00 AM
Embassy Suites Hotel
The past twenty to twenty-five years have seen unprecedented change in the field of Corporate Governance. As a nation we've seen periods of great prosperity and periods of recession. We have also seen corporate corruption and scandals as in the case of Enron, Tyco, Worldcom and others. We have witnessed government dysfunction by the agencies charged with handling of laws to address these issues, as well as the implementation of new laws such as Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank.

The end result has been a move from corporate governance being a matter of State law, addressed in an apolitical manner by state legislatures and courts, to considerable political intervention from Washington, often driven by those with special interests.

In Search of a New Economic Development Paradigm | Watch Mark Lautman's Talk Online

Tuesday, October 11, 2011 from 7:30 AM - 9:00 AM

Join us for a special breakfast and discussion with Mark Lautman, CEcD, CRE.
In Search of a New Economic Development Paradigm

The economic development game as we've known it in the Unites States for the last 50 years is over. If communities are to foster expanding economies, they will have to find a new game.

While flattening demand, rising debt and a paralyzed credit system are huge problems, it is the immanent retirement of 78 million Baby Boomers and the fact they didn't have enough kids to replace themselves that threatens the long term survival of most communities and changes the fundamentals of the economic development game. Despite 14 million Americans being out of work, a shortage of qualified workers is creating a zero sum labor market that promises to create a new paradigm for community leaders trying to create jobs.

Listen to Mark Lautman describe the problem, the new paradigm it creates, and what you can do about it.

How to Regain the Public Trust: A Path to New Beginnings

October 5, 2010
According to a Pew Research Center survey released this year, 80 percent of Americans have little faith in government. New Mexicans are no exception. Some would argue that intense partisanship is feeding the distrust. Restoring trust requires some sense of bipartisanship and compromise at all levels of government, including Washington. It requires that we put the public's best interests first. The State Investment Council is adopting a series of reforms that are designed to produce excellent investment returns, adhere to ethical standards and follow the best practices of the investment management profession.

The Financial Crisis and Its Effects on the U.S. and World Economies

April 27, 2010
While the financial crisis originated in the United States the consequences of the fallout can be traced all over the world. Excessive risk taking gave ground to excessive risk aversion with a very interesting twist: capital flew into the U.S. rather than out, strengthening the U.S. dollar during that period. During the crisis, worldwide trade plummeted and the world economy was at the edge of an abyss. Strong fiscal and monetary policy across the globe prevented a total collapse of the world economy. Join us for what promises to be an insightful talk on the state of the world economy.
