July 7 – Ernie Goss, Ph.D. The Federal COVID-19 Rescue Plan: Killing the Golden Goose to Save the Egg According to Creighton's two monthly surveys, one of Mid-America manufacturers and one of Rural Mainstreet bank CEOs, the economy of the mid-section of the nation has fallen into the most significant downturn since the Great Depression. Goss will discuss the findings from the most recent surveys identifying the economic challenges and opportunities facing Mid-America and Rural Mainstreet. A significant portion of the presentation will be centered on the federal government's and Federal Reserve's rescue actions and their impact on future economic growth. July 14 – Nathan Kauffman, Ph.D. Heavy Steps Forward to Economic Recovery Following the longest economic expansion on record, the shock of the past few months has been severe.

  • Message from the Chairman
    MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN ur world has changed dramatically from what it was a Oyear ago. The Administration’s response to the Gulf spill threatens our industry, security and economy through increased energy costs, greater reliance on foreign energy sources, and the loss of more American jobs. We have seen both shallow and deepwater moratoria in the Gulf, emergency rulemakings, a series of NTLs and attempts at clarification, a lengthy investigation by the Oil Spill Commission, and the rebirth of blanket moratoria on both coasts and in parts of the Gulf and Alaska. ur industry has worked tirelessly to understand and Omeet the seemingly ever changing new regulatory requirements. We formed task forces and have conducted our own investigations. We have offered our knowledge and expertise to the Administration and have met with them on numerous occasions, yet certainty and clarity are not forthcoming. espite the official lifting of the deepwater Gulf moratorium in October, a de Dfacto moratorium clearly remains there as well as in Alaska. There have been no permits issued for new deepwater exploration in the Gulf, and permits for shallow water activity have slowed to a snail’s pace. Faced with idle rigs, some companies have moved their rigs from the Gulf to other regions of the World. We are beginning to see layoffs. Progress on projects offshore Alaska has stalled. ow, as we struggle to find the “new normal,” a new Congress will bring us a fresh Nround of proposed legislation and hearings. n this context, the National Ocean Industries Association will convene its 2011 Annual IMeeting on April 13-15 in Washington, DC.
