Wobbekind, CU Boulder’s leading economist, will share his analysis of what these trends mean not only for businesses and communities, but also for the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors.  Join us on January 16 to gain a clear, data-driven perspective on the economic landscape and what it means for your mission in 2026.
