This week I had the pleasure of running the meeting for President Thea. As expected, many Rotarians showed up to hear fellow member Kamran Afshar give us his update on the economy and the question that's on our minds: Is a recession on the horizon? After presenting facts and historical data, Kamran showed us similarities between 2007 and today. But, 2019 finds us in a stronger position and other factors such as a tight labor market and tariffs will influence what happens. Kamran concluded that we will eventually see a slowdown. The question remains-when?
Rotarian Kamran Afshar talks about the economy.
We also heard from BAVTS student Yamilet Ferrufino. A Liberty High School student, she talked about her Cross Country running experiences and how she discovered the BAVTS Health Careers Program.
