RBC Event!

by

On Tuesday, June 7, 2022, we welcomed Jim Allworth, one of RBC’s most respected and experienced investment strategists, to speak about topics like The path to economic recovery after the global pandemic, Impacts of the current supply chain disruption, Outlook and consequences of rising inflation, Expectations for, and the potential impact of, interest rate increases, and much more. We understand business owners’ worries and concerns about a potential shift in the world’s economic state. As the cost of doing business continues to rise, and supply continues to lag, Jim explored a number of pressing topics.

With close to 100 people in attendance, we want to thank all attendees who made this event a great success! Thank you to RBC and all of the volunteers for making this event possible.
