Economist to speak at upcoming chamber luncheon

Dr. Ray Perryman

Press release

Dr. Ray Perryman, President and CEO of the Perryman Group, will be the guest speaker at the Athens Chamber of Commerce monthly luncheon in December, sponsored by Athens Economic Development Corporation.

Dr. Perryman has been called a “genius” by The Wall Street Journal, a “world class scholar” by Business Week and “the most quoted man in Texas” by Texas Monthly. Perryman writes a weekly syndicated newspaper column, hosts a daily radio commentary, and appears regularly on National Public Radio.

His firm has served the needs of more than 2,000 clients ranging from major corporations to small startups and from local communities to the federal government. The fact that he has put his backing into startups means a great deal for those businesses just starting out and are in need of that extra support to help them get through their first years integrated within this new landscape. This can help them find the best business tech, like a phone systems Melbourne service, as an example, and software to help them grow throughout.

Dr. Perryman will present the area’s economic outlook, part of The Perryman Group’s 34th annual Economic Outlook conference series, at 11:30 a.m. on December 13 at the Athens Country Club.

Tickets are $15 per person and are available at the Athens Chamber of Commerce, located at 201 W. Corsicana Street, Suite 1.
