Economic Forecast

We’re excited to announce an important update to our upcoming Economic Forecast—Steve Scranton, Chief Economist at Washington Trust Bank, has joined our speaker lineup. His expertise brings timely insight into financial markets, banking trends, and capital conditions that directly impact businesses and investors across our region.

Joined by Dr. John Mitchell, providing national and regional economic context, and Sam Wolkenhauer from the Idaho Department of Labor, offering workforce and employment data, this year’s forecast delivers a comprehensive, practical view of the forces shaping our economy. Together, these perspectives provide a 360° look at markets, jobs, and growth.

Join fellow business leaders, community stakeholders, and policy influencers for this informative and engaging discussion. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of where the economy stands, what lies ahead, and how to plan with confidence in a changing economic landscape.
