Envision Greater Fond du Lac will host their annual State of the Economy event, virtually, on Tuesday, November 17, 2020 from 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. This event is provided through the generous support of Mercury Marine and Agnesian HealthCare, a member of SSM Health.

The Trump Administration, beginning in 2017, embarked on an aggressive, and largely successful, trade policy. It caused fissures in the global trading system and caused tensions with our trade partners. But these disruptions were minimal in comparison with the proverbial tsunami wave which the Covid-19 Pandemic has caused. It is not just disruptions of trade, but changes in virtually all aspects of lives of citizens in the U.S., and globally. The presentation will address how business and industry representatives can anticipate, deal with, and hopefully thrive from newly increased trade diversion. as well as the impacts of the election on the economy and trade.
