Economics and politics will be addressed by Chris Kuehl, the co-founder of Armada Corporate Intelligence who is returning to St. Joseph for a presentation later this month.

Kuehl will be speaking at the Economic Summit Luncheon hosted by the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce. The event will be from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Radisson Hotel, 102 S. Third St., on Thursday, Oct. 26. His presentation will be about “What Changes Will Affect You & Your Business in 2018.” He previously spoke at last year’s Fall Chairman’s Breakfast. The chamber said because Kuehl was so popular at last year’s event, he is returning to give an update on his perspective now that President Trump is nearing the end of his first year in the Oval Office.

According to a news release from the chamber, Kuehl’s company provides strategy foundation, competitive intelligence, business analysis and economic forecasting for corporate clients. He also is the editor and primary writer for several publications including:

Business Intelligence Briefs – a daily distributed through Chambers of Commerce throughout the U.S. focused on economic and business issues
Strategic Intelligence Briefs – a daily distributed through World Trade Centers and international business organizations focused on global economic and business trends.

He also is a frequent commentator for the media – locally and nationally. He is a regular economic/business analyst for KMBZ radio, KSHB-TV and has been extensively quoted in national newspapers, magazines and trade publications. He holds a master’s degree in Soviet and East European Studies, a master’s degree in East Asian Studies and a Ph.D. in Political Economics from the University of Kansas. He has been on the faculty of universities in the U.S., Hungary, Estonia, Russia, Singapore and Taiwan.

Besides Kuehl’s address, Chamber Economic Development staff will give an overview of activity from the year with new jobs planned and capital investments being made by St. Joseph companies.
