The National Economists Club hosts regular luncheons and special events throughout the year that highlight economic issues, economic research and data and leaders in economics-related fields.

NEC NABE & SGE Partner Events

The NEC is a local chapter of the National Association of Business Economics (NABE). NEC members are eligible for reduced-cost services offered by NABE. The NEC has reciprocal agreements with the Society of Government Economists (SGE) and the Wharton Club to allow NEC members access to these clubs’ events at reduced rates.

NEC Speaker Materials

Most presentations are recorded and later posted to the website for subsequent download as podcasts. When slides are used, they are also posted on the web along with rapporteurs’ written summaries. We call these three media ‘The NEC Classroom’ which constitutes a complete set of educational aids perfect as a complement in teaching economics.
