The uncertainty surrounding
both the automotive industry and the national economy
will continue throughout 2009. If you want to hear the
latest thinking on where the industry is headed, Dr.
Sean McAlinden, CAR’s chief economist, and Dr. David
Cole, CAR’s chairman, will provide insights at this
inaugural event. Other speakers will offer their views
on the future of the industry, provide further insights
into changes communities can expect, and suggest ways in
which communities might plan and partner to better
position themselves for future prosperity.
The United States Department of Commerce Economic
Development Administration has provided seed funding for
this event, and the University of Michigan is an active
participant in developing the agenda that will focus on
ways communities can plan and partner in order to
prosper—either through transition or transformation.
