We have to be asking:

What will be the lessons learned from the 2020 Coronavirus crisis?

Just like the S&L crisis brought us the Interest Reserve feature in a construction loan, and 9/11 resulted in taking off shoes at airports, will COVID-19 mean no more door handles for viruses to be transmitted? These are the "Look Up and Forward" questions the Red-Shoe Economist wants you to to be thinking about instead of the decline in your 401(k) statement after Q1. Join us as KC Conway shares his expertise on what can be learned in times of global crisis. KC is the head economist for Culverhouse Center for Real Estate at University of Alabama and head economist for CCIM. As an expert on supply chain, he'll also talk about impact to commercial real estate.

If you've ever noticed a change in your social media or email engagement, it's probably not because people suddenly find your content boring and irrelevant. Jim invites in-house marketing expert Bekah Carlson to discuss staying on top of analytics & trends across different platforms and how to make social media, and communication in general, an asset to your business.
