Conference Highlight….”Ready for Growth” Alan Beaulieu ITR Economist

2015 provided a few scares, but 2016 should see increased levels

of demand across a broad swath of industries. We will discuss the

economic realities that portend good news and the need for more;

more marketing, more planning, more labor, and an optimistic view

of the future. Beaulieu will be looking at the following:

What is happening in China – are they melting down and are we next? What is happening with oil prices? What are the key leading indicators telling us? What is the outlook for some of our top markets? What are the megatrends we will all have to contend with? Will Russia, and Europe present overwhelming economic challenges? When will interest rates start to rise? Will the national elections impact the forecast? Will those forecasts directly impact your company? Which of ITR

®’s Phase Management Objectives

TM apply to your company

at this time in the business cycle?

ABMA GOLF TOURNAMENT Monday, January 18, 2016 12:30 pm/Shotgun The cost is $225.00 per per-son. (Spouses & guest are welcome to participate.)

Play one of the top rated golf courses in the country, exclusively available only to private club mem-bers and the guests of Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa. Surrounded by incredible scenery, Gainey Ranch Golf Club offers an exciting year-round challenge for golfers of any skill level. Each of the three distinct nine-hole courses of our Scottsdale Arizona golf resort, designed by Benz and Poellot, offers a different experience for players.

The Lakes features varied terrain in a garden-like setting and plays around a variety of water features. The Dunes is set along dramatic terrain, reminiscent of Scottish Courses. Arroyo, the longest and most open course, features a meandering desert wash that provides a natural hazard throughout the nine.

On a daily basis, two nines are linked together to build a different 18-hole experience. Rated one of the top 75 golf courses in the United States by Golf Digest and one of the top 100 resort golf cours-es in the world by Golf Magazine, Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Gainey Ranch pro-vides world-class facilities for golfers.
