The holidays are nearing an end and January is rapidly moving in on us. So, in keeping with our time honored tradition of starting everyone’s year off with an area economic forecast, we have once again invited Dr. Grant Forsyth to present the Spokane and Northern Idaho economic health and forecast.  Dr. Forsyth has been a long time favorite of our group and his annual presentation is always well worth attending whether the news is good, bad or indifferent.  We don’t know how he does it, but somehow he makes economics interesting. 

Dr. Forsyth is the Chief Economist of Avista Corp. Before coming to Avista in 2012, he was Professor of Economics at EWU for 13 years and prior to that, he worked for nearly three years in the Czech Republic as an academic and private sector economist. Dr. Forsyth received his BA in Economics from Central Washington University (1988), his MBA in Finance from the University of Oregon (1990), and his PhD in Economics from Washington State University (1996).    He also serves on the Governor’s Council of Economic Advisors and the Spokane Mayor’s Council on Economic Policy and Forecasting.
