In addition to the keynotes, Texas Secretary of State Ruth Hughs will share insights on the current business climate throughout
the state, how it impacts the work we do in the Brazos Valley, and how Texas is positioning itself for even more success in the future. Texas A&M University Mays Business School professor Tony Okoromadu will explore the circumstances of the Brazos Valley and the role the community plays in a global context. Drs. Dennis Jansen and Andrew Rettenmaier from the Texas A&M Private Enterprise Research Center will present a review of the past year of their monthly report, Economic Indicators of the College Station-Bryan MSA, and provide a comprehensive picture of the Brazos Valley’s current economic landscape.
