The Economic Club of Phoenix (ECP) speaker series — hosted by the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University — is celebrating its 38th anniversary and has become the premier forum in the Valley for the exchange of ideas about business and the economy. 

Since the club's launch in January 1985, audiences have come to hear from leaders of top businesses and organizations in the Phoenix area and beyond.

This season, one of those leaders is W. P. Carey's new dean. Another is the first Latino president and CEO in NHL history. Plus, attendees will hear from the founder and CEO of the leading artificial intelligence assistant for recruiting.

"I'm looking forward to kicking off the fall season of this longstanding event and sharing our strategic plan, which will address critical areas of growth and opportunity for the school," said Ohad Kadan, dean of the W. P. Carey School of Business. "This is a plan for the entire business community, laying out critical areas of development not just for our school, but for Arizona, for organizations, and the economy."
