America in Perspective: The First 100 Days

The new Congress and new President take office at a time of great uncertainty for the world and significant challenges at home. Yet it is a time of great opportunity as well—if political and business leaders can work together to address immediate concerns and position the US for a strong, prosperous economy and global leadership for the long term.

The US economy is generally strong, yet many challenges in domestic policy remain. Abroad, an increasingly dangerous world demands robust US defenses and resolute and equally robust engagement with the world.

Will policymakers rise to meet these challenges, and how? Will the Nation seize the moment of a relatively strong economy to take necessary steps to propel long-term growth? Or will the US continue to ignore fundamental threats to our economic future such as the debt crisis, impending insolvency of entitlement programs, and training for the jobs of tomorrow and shortages throughout the labor force?

By attending, you will learn:

  • What is top of the agenda for the new Congress and Administration? What will the first “100 days” look like?
  • How will the US economic outlook influence that agenda?
  • How is the new Administration to respond to geopolitical challenges around the world?
  • What key areas of domestic policy should Congress and the Administration address?
  • How should business leaders seek to exercise leadership in public policy in this new environment?
