Searchlight Newsletter – Q4 2016
Q4 2016 |
A Message from Keith Pearson, President & CEO
As we head into the holiday season, we look ahead to a new year full of possibility. With the election behind us, some of the biggest questions on our minds have been put to rest. Still, many business leaders continue to follow the U.S. and global news with a critical eye, wondering about the potential impact of campaign promises and cabinet appointments that may or may not come to fruition.
Thankfully, we have expert voices who can help us sort out some of the scenarios that may come to pass next year and beyond. Voices like Bob Estrada of Estrada Hinojosa & Co.; Maribess Miller, former partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers; and economist Meredith Walker with MMW Research. We asked all three to lend their expertise as panelists at our Spotlight SeriesSM breakfast.
They shared their insight on everything from disruptive forces in today’s business environment to America’s international relationships, the Affordable Care Act, and the global economy. We’ve summarized the highlights of the conversation in this issue of Searchlight.
