As always, your comments are welcome and appreciated. We look forward to hearing from you!
The event provided another excellent networking opportunity for business folks in the area. Dan Walters’ remarks were interesting for his insider perspective developed over many years of observation and analysis, but he seemed resigned and defeated. I appreciate his opinion on the problem in CA government.
Michael Bryan was engaging and funny, yet provided tons of insight into what the Fed does and why. I heard many attendees remark that they did not know much about the Fed, but understood more after the talk.
Peter Rupert delivered a stucatto presentation of charts for the local economy. It seemed to be slightly disconnected from Bryan’s talk. There was no conclusion offered that I could discern. Tons of data, but what were his opinions and thoughts? I thought he might have guided us through the book, chapter by chapter to point out the high lights. He could have made insightful comments about each area. This year the book is much more densely written, which is different from the past. He could have related the book to the plan for the data in the website.
Having the survey on line, and not at the event, may not produce the feedback we are looking for. Also, you lose the immediate reaction from people, which is most genuine.
All in all, it was a good event. I thought the panel discussion last year was great, and missed it this year.
Did I miss the North County UCSB Forecast Event? I’ve been trying to find out when it will be held and have found nothing so far. Thanks.
