March 2: What does the ‘good economy’ mean to you?

Featured Events | Feb 24, 2015 | Nicole Gesualdo

To next Monday’s panelists, “the good economy” doesn’t simply mean one where the GDP is high and growth is the order of the day.

Here, the “good economy” is a greater concept, tied to human beings’ ability to thrive, enjoy respect, and find fulfillment while companies benefit as well.

Join four speakers for a discussion on this topic:
