Midterm elections often shake up politics and inspire a shift in policy-making, especially in state government. This November, Nevada and 38 other states or territories will hold gubernatorial elections, including 18 with open seats.
REMI cordially invites you to a luncheon presentation titled “Decision 2018 – Policy and the Economy” in Carson City, Nevada on Wednesday, November 7th from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Nevada is grappling with a range of issues – such as education, economic development, and housing – and the outcome of its gubernatorial election could help shape the state’s future direction.
For this presentation, REMI Senior Vice President Billy Leung will discuss the issues in the upcoming election and the economic policy implications. He will explore the role of dynamic economic modeling in evaluating alternative solutions and providing objective answers in contentious times.
We’re offering this event free of charge; however, we do ask that you register in advance. If you would like to attend this event, please email Brian Boyd at Brian.Boyd@remi.com, contact us by phone at (413)549-1169, or fill out the registration page for this event.
