DR. JOSEPH VON NESSEN TO ADDRESS THE LEADERSHIP SOUTH CAROLINA CLASS OF 2016

The role of economic indicators in making business decisions is the topic of an address by Joey Von Nessen presented to the 36th class of Leadership South Carolina.

"The strength of the South Carolina economy is evidenced by a 3% job growth, the highest rate since 2010. Job growth is a key indicator in any evaluation of economic activity. But other factors can provide perspective on appropriate expectations for the future. Will growth continue, lag or actually stagnate? Business leadership needs to recognize the supportive role of other economic metrics in order to minimize the risk inherent in any business decision."

Dr. Von Nessen will make his presentation at the meeting of Leadership South Carolina at the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce on September 10, 2015.

Leadership South Carolina was established in 1979 by the Governor's Office and the South Carolina business community. As the oldest and most respected of the statewide leadership programs in the state, Leadership South Carolina provides gifted and highly motivated South Carolinians an opportunity to advance their leadership qualities while broadening their understanding of issues facing the state.
