This week, Northrim Bank hosted three economic update luncheons. The annual luncheon was held in Fairbanks, Anchorage and Juneau. Speakers included Northrim Bank CEO Joe Beedle, Northrim Bank Economist Mark Edwards, and guest speaker Dr. Bill Conerly, business strategy consultant, online contributor to Forbes and author of Businomics.
Guests were given an update on Alaska’s economy and a special presentation on the economic issues affecting Alaska and the nation. Joe Beedle provided information specific to each region in his remarks. Each presentation is attached below. We invite you to peruse the PowerPoint presentations at your leisure.
Guests were also given a copy of the Alaska Economic Update for Spring 2015 as well as a copy of Understanding the Current Oil Environment. The update was written by Bank Economist, Mark Edwards, and has been highlighted over the past two weeks in Alaskanomics. Both pieces are in the ‘Resources’ section of the blog.
To wrap up each luncheon, Northrim Bank presented donations to University of Alaska programs. Over the years, Northrim has given over $4 million to Alaskan higher education. Northrim invests in the community and is proud to support organizations that are helping build a stronger community for the future. Northrim is a strong advocate for higher education throughout Alaska and supports each of the major hubs of the University.
