11:45 a.m. - 1 p.m., with check-in and networking begriming at 11:15 a.m. It is held at the
Radisson Hotel Richardson, 1981 N. Central Expressway, and the cost is $30 for Chamber members and $45 prospective members. For a reservation, visit the Chamber's Web site.
MORE ABOUT DR. COX
Dr. Cox authors the Bank's acclaimed series of annual report essays on rising American living standards and the new economy. These reports receive extensive attention from leading publications, including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, Forbes, Fortune and Business Week, reaching an audience of more than 200 million. He is a regular contributing columnist for Investor's Business Daily.
The media rely on Dr. Cox's ability to make plain sense out of difficult economic issues. He is a frequent guest on national radio, television and Internet programs, including ABC's John Stossel program, CNN, Voice of America and National Public Radio.
