East Tennessee Economic Council (ETEC)

Today, the #ETECcommunity heard from Marianne Wanamaker, Professor of Economics and Dean of the Howard H. Baker Jr. School of Public Policy and Public Affairs, in her presentation “A Tennessee Economic Update.” She shared an overview of Tennessee’s economy, focusing on workforce and labor productivity and how the two are closely connected. Her remarks explored current trends, opportunities, and the factors that will shape growth statewide, while connecting national perspectives to developments here in East Tennessee.

ETEC was pleased to host U.S. Congressman Chuck Fleischmann as our speaker this morning. The Congressman spoke to a standing-room-only crowd about energy, the role of nuclear, and how the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is key to the growing nuclear resurgence in Tennessee and across the country!
