Case, Rutledge, Lingle, to Highlight
28th Annual SBH Conference

"Small Business 2004: Platform for Hawaii's Capital Formation and Economic Growth," is the theme of the The 28th Annual Small Business Hawaii Economic & Investment Conference, Wednesday, January 14, 2004 at the Ala Moana Hotel.

Governor Linda Lingle, members of her cabinet, legislative leaders and small business achievers will discuss current business and political issues facing Hawaii and important to SBH members after the first year of "The New Beginning."

Dr. John Rutledge, a top economic and investment advisor, nationally known, and close to the White House and Alan Greenspan, will be a luncheon keynote speaker. As a young and upcoming economic leader, Rutledge had spoken to the annual SBH conference in 1983 and 1987 when he headed up the prestigious Claremont Institute in California. Many still remember his unique and accurate economic forecasts.

U.S. Congressman Ed Case (D-2nd District), a member of the House Small Business Committee and education subcommittee, will report on business and economic conditions from the national perspective. Case recently returned from an extensive fact finding trip to Iraq and will review the military call-up on Hawaii's economy as well.
