THEY
SAID IT AT THE DETROIT ECONOMIC CLUB...

U.S.
Treasurer Discusses the State of the Economy
|
| September 12, 2006 -- The Honorable Anna Escobedo
Cabral, the U.S. Treasurer, spoke from the DEC podium about the state
of the U.S. economy, as well
as U.S.
Treasury
Department financial education and anti-counterfeiting initiatives. "Since
August of 2003, since the signing of the Jobs Growth Bill, we've seen
unemployment
fall.
We have seen
jobs created across
the country. 5.7 million net new jobs in this country. 128,000 in
last month alone. 36 consecutive months of job growth. Those are
good numbers. They're important," said Cabral. "We
need to keep the economy strong. Folks need to have the kind of money
and
resources to be able to purchase those new cars and trucks that we're
all worried about producing and continuing to keep marketable inside
this country," said Cabral. Dennis Archer, Chairman of Dickinson Wright PLLC and member of the DEC Board of Directors, was the presiding officer for this meeting. |

UAW
President on Critical Labor Issues
|
| September 7, 2006 -- The Detroit Economic Club
hosted Ron Gettelfinger, president of the International
Union, UAW.
At a time of sweeping change in the auto industry, Mr. Gettelfinger
addressed
the challenges
facing
the UAW and the future of one of America's most important industries. "Is
the die cast and our fate sealed? We in the UAW sure don't think
so. We don't buy into the currently fashionable notion
that the domestic auto industry is in an irreversible decline,"
said Gettelfinger. "Nor do we believe for a minute that the
problems facing this industry and this country are too big and too
complex
to solve." Eleanor Josaitis, co-founder of Focus: HOPE and member of the Detroit Economic Club Board of Directors, introduced Treasurer Cabral. |

Focus
on Economics
Beth Chappell, President and CEO, Detroit
Economic Club |
|
In my opinion, economists and sociologists are the people to whom
we ought to turn more than we do for instruction in the grounds
and foundations of all rational decisions.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
The Detroit Economic Club welcomes all those
who share an interest in the major issues of the day. Some of the
most critical issues currently facing southeastern Michigan are
economic. So within the past few weeks, the DEC has hosted UAW President
Ron Gettelfinger as well as the U.S. Treasurer Anna Escobedo Cabral.
Both of these leaders discussed the state of the economy. The American
manufacturing sector played a key part of President Gettelfinger's
speech, while Treasurer Cabral discussed the overall economic picture
as it stands today.
Business and government leaders will be expected to make difficult
decisions during a time of economic and political uncertainty and
change. The Detroit Economic Club brings the world's most insightful
speakers to the podium to help DEC members and guests make well-informed
decisions.
All the best,
Beth |
