If you plan to attend the March meeting, you must register by 12 p.m. on Tuesday, March 7th, so your name can be placed on the attend­ance list for the Fed’s security officers and so we know how many lunches to order.

You need not be a member of The Houston Economics Club to attend. Meetings are open to all who use economics in their work, study, teaching or have an interest in trends driving our economy. However, members do pay reduced meeting fees, receive e-mail meeting notices before nonmembers ensuring that they have a better chance of registering before an event is sold out, and have exclusive access to members-only social and networking events.
