[Conventioncommittee1] Upcoming PNW Convention - SPEAKER UNAVAILABLE

Tue May 7 08:41:40 PDT 2024

I talked to Jerry Johnson, at Johnson Economics, who’s worked with title companies before. He would be available for $1,000.

I have an email out to Matthew Gardner, who’s no longer with Windermere but may be available – his LinkedIn page suggests that. Not sure that he’d be up to date or charge a fee (my guess is yes), but was mentioned by the head of the UW Runstad School.

John and Mies, thanks for you suggestion as well. Also, Jerry Johnson mentioned someone named Brian Point out of Moscow. Might you or someone know about him?

Thanks, Carolyn. I have contact info for two economists (Matthew Gardner and Skyler Olson and will reach out.

Are you familiar with Consulting | Johnson Economics | Portland <https://www.johnsoneconomics.com/> ? They appear to do economic consulting of sorts.

George,

This is unfortunate.  I will reach out to some of the OLTA Board members to see if they have ideas.

This is a problem, timing-wise. I’m copying in Carolyn Payne with OLTA and John Holt at ILTA as well.

Aside from trying to get an economist (I’ve asked him if there is someone else who can step in from his department) let alone any other speaker, lined up, we are in the process of getting the printed program set up, and that involves designing and proofing – and finally printing. (Would need a topic title, photo, bio, including speaker’s title, and topic summary. The latter not critical for the printed program, but needed for LPO submission. The time slot is 9:30 to 10:30 on Tuesday.)

Our absolute deadline for the printer is Friday.

If anyone has any speaker suggestions, please let me know and perhaps reach out on your own. At this stage, probably needn’t be an economist – it took a while to line Mason up.

Is there someone in Idaho or Oregon? One of the banks or state economist, university (similar to the UW department) etc.? 

Mason has a room at the lodge, which I will cancel if necessary, but will keep available for another speaker.

Hi George,

I hope you had a nice weekend and are having a great start to your week.  

I'm reaching out because I have accepted a new role and I will be departing from my current post as Associate Director of the Washington Center from Real Estate Research effective Friday, May 17th 2024.  

As a result, I unfortunately will no longer be able to attend and present during your conference on May 21st, 2024 as planned.  I apologize for the short notice, and am disappointed that I will not have the opportunity to speak - I was very much looking forward to presenting.

I hope that the conference goes well as the lineup of speakers/topics looks very interesting and engaging.  Again, I'm sorry that I won't be able to make it and hope you can understand.

Sincerely,

Mason

Mason A. Virant

Associate Director | WCRER
