Sabrin believes the roundtable, the first in what will become an annual event, provides the public with an opportunity to “hear nationally known experts discuss current and future economic trends and how they affect business and personal portfolios.”
He adds, “The first part of the program will focus on where we’ve been in terms of the local, state and national economic climate. The second part of the roundtable explores prospects New Jersey businesses face in a the years ahead and the outlook for the bond, stock and international markets.”
