Post-Election Political Horizon

With one of the most hotly contested presidential races in our nation's history behind us, we are now looking to the horizon at how anticipated policy changes will impact business and the economy. During the December Executives Club, our local political pundits will share their insights about the electorate, what new political dynamics mean for our communities and what businesses in our region should prepare for as inauguration day nears.
