O’Keefe, Northwood, and DBusiness Present: ‘The State of the Economy and Role of Government in Emerging Markets’

O’Keefe, Northwood University, and DBusiness are partnering to host “The State of the Economy and Role of Government in Emerging Markets,” a special presentation on Oct. 29 in Troy, Michigan.

The morning presentation will feature insights from leading economic experts on government policy, emerging industries, and the current state of the U.S. economy.

Speakers will include Michigan economist Dr. Timothy G. Nash, vice president emeritus and director of The McNair Center for the Advancement of Free Enterprise and Entrepreneurship at Northwood University, and Jim Holcomb, president and CEO of the Michigan Chamber of Commerce. They will discuss what strategies can enhance U.S. and Michigan competitiveness in a post-November world.

The event will be moderated by Pat O’Keefe, CEO and founder of O’Keefe, a transactional strategic and financial advisory firm, alongside Dr. Kent MacDonald, president of Northwood University, a private, nonprofit, accredited institution dedicated to developing free-enterprise leaders who drive future global economic and social progress.

“As America’s Free Enterprise University, Northwood is thrilled to participate in a forward-looking event that will benefit all who live and work within our great state and beyond,” MacDonald stated.

The event will occur from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 29, at the San Marino Club at 1685 E. Big Beaver Road in Troy, Michigan.
