The Eastern Idaho Business & Economic Forum was held at the Art Museum of Eastern Idaho on May 12. McPherson Wealth Concepts was the primary sponsor for the event.
Business owners gathered to hear the impressive roster of speakers give their valuable insight and information on the economy.
Senator Dean Mortimer said, “We know that we are struggling in some of our businesses, but I think this is a good chance for business owners to come together and find out: ‘where are we headed?’”
Dan McPherson, sponsor, added, “I’ve been working with business owners in the community for a long time and I was getting the same questions over and over and over.” According to attendee Blayne Andersen, that’s especially true with regard to the political landscape, the economy and the financial markets.
The complete speaking roster included Mayor of Ammon Steve Furhiman, State of Idaho Chief Economist Mike Ferguson on the state economy, Partner Winston Bear from Beard St. Clair Law Firm on the health care reform, State of Idaho Tax Commission Dan John on tax incentives, Assistant VP of Zion’s Bank Russ Slack on how to obtain business financing and keep it and Senator Dean Mortimer speaking on the recent legislative sessions.
