Dr. Bauer monitors the Fifth District economy with a special focus on Maryland and the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. “We are very pleased to host a speaker the caliber of Dr. Andrew Bauer to provide our members with an Economic Forecast for the new year,” said Nicole Christian, Chamber President & CEO. Dr. Bauer last spoke at our Economic Forecast in 2017 and we are excited to have him return for this year’s presentation. 

 

 

The past year was marked by strong U.S. economic growth but uncertainty looms on the horizon and many are understandably wondering what to expect in 2019. Many speculate an economic recession and some even predict an economic crash in the coming year. “With the ongoing federal government shutdown and a potential economic recession later this year, Dr. Bauer’s presentation could not be more timely,” says Nicole. Whatever the coming year has in store for us Dr. Bauer will give us his analysis. 

 

Dr. Bauer is adept at translating complicated economic information into an easily understandable format. This ability to communicate means the Economic Forecast offers valuable insight to all in attendance, not just those with a background in economics. Best of all we invite attendees to pick Dr. Bauer’s brain at the end of the presentation so be prepared and come with questions—you won’t get that by staying in and reading The Wall Street Journal! 

 

 

We are eager to welcome back this traditional Southern breakfast staple and crowd favorite to the menu! Did you know that biscuits and gravy emerged as a distinct regional dish after the Revolutionary War when stocks of food were in short supply and breakfast was generally the most substantial meal of the day?
