The St. Johns County Chamber of Commerce’s next Economic Development Council Breakfast will feature a presentation from David Altig, executive vice president and chief economic adviser at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.
The quarterly breakfast will be held Friday, Dec. 6, at 8 a.m., at Embassy Suites in St. Augustine Beach. Those interested in attending should note the new location for this event, rather than the usual location of Renaissance World Golf Village.
Altig will share information about the latest economic policy from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta and how it affects business and industry in our region.
“We are honored to host Mr. David Altig as our guest speaker at the EDC Breakfast,” said Jim Bush, chair of the Chamber’s Economic Development Council and director of external affairs for Florida Power & Light. “He serves on the executive leadership team for the Federal Reserve Bank’s economic mobility and resilience strategic priority, is an executive cosponsor of the Working Families Employee Resource Network and is an adviser to the executive leadership committee. Mr. Altig is a fellow and immediate past president of the National Association for Business Economics and will provide valuable insight into current federal economic policy for our members.”
Inflation and its impact on business will also be a focus of the program, and Altig will provide a national economic forecast based on key performance indicators that business leaders should be aware of.
“Hearing from Mr. Altig will be a valuable opportunity for the entire St. Johns County business community,” said Isabelle Renault, president and CEO of the St. Johns County Chamber of Commerce. “Especially in an election year, which can bring a degree of uncertainty, this program will provide businesses additional insight for the most efficient predictions and planning. The Chamber is committed to delivering insightful and practical programming to provide the best tools and resources for businesses in our region.”
