Welcome to Hawkins. The national economy is doing well, and the labor market is approaching full employment. However, dark forces lurk just below the surface. Brexit, slowdowns in Germany, and an ever-expanding trade war are dominating international news. Closer to home, we see widening income inequality, uneasy bond markets, and a generation saddled with student loan debt. Will these forces be enough to send us to the “Upside Down,” and are we prepared to fight back if they do? What should you be watching for in the months to come? Attend the annual Economic Outlook Forum and find out how these “Stranger Things” will impact the Maryland economy.

Irani serves as vice president of Strategic Partnerships and Applied Research at Towson University, fostering partnerships between business, government, and education that contribute to the economic vitality of Greater Baltimore.

The Baltimore Women’s Advisory Board invites you to join them for an exciting #bWomen event:
The Baltimore Women’s Advisory Board has specifically designed this unique program and selected an all-male panel of top executives to discuss their perspective, experiences and best practices utilized in cultivating a diverse and inclusive company culture.
This discussion will be moderated by Sabina Kelly, Greater Maryland Market President, Bank of America and Christine Aspell, Managing Partner, Baltimore Office, KPMG LLP.
How to be an Effective Ally

Why inclusion is about each person.
How to create a culture that strives for equity and embraces, respects and values the differences of all employees.
Why diversity is about the unique experiences, qualities and characteristics each person brings to the work environment.
Why inclusion requires that each person see beyond differences in others to create a culture that unlocks the power of diversity.

According to research, creating an environment where people can bring their whole self to work is essential to a successful organizational culture. An individual’s sense of belonging within the work culture is enhanced by the presence of “allies” – those who support and advocate for others across all aspects of diversity. Panelists for this event have demonstrated that they value diverse perspectives, are not afraid to engage in courageous conversations and have worked to remove bias, stereotypes and patterns of inequity in the workplace.
Hear from these top executives:

Joseph Sullivan – Chairman and CEO, Legg Mason
Robert Wallace – President, CEO and Founder, Bithgroup Technologies
Timothy Gillis – Managing Partner, KPMG
David Imre – CEO, imre
