    ‘ KANSAS CITY REAL ESTATE 13 AND EcONOMIC OUTLOOK November 15, 2013 at the Downtown Kansas City Marriott Hotel ‘13 KANSAS CITY REAL ESTATE AND ECONOMIC OUTLOOK SEMINAR The uncertainty that exists in the American Economy continues to be the central focus of most Americans as we try to structure our transactions for the balance of 2013 and start of 2014. Recent headlines have contained conflicting data concerning budget wranglings, government shutdown, the true cost of Obamacare, tax incentives, and the unemployment rate. In addition, another question that has hit our radar screen is whether we are going to suffer another bust in the real estate market. CBIZ and Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. along with Polsinelli are proud to be hosting a real estate and economic outlook seminar designed to give you an advantage as we peer into the future. This seminar will be beneficial to real estate developers, commercial lenders, investment bankers, underwriters, licensed real estate agents, investors, accountants, attorneys, government officials involved with the housing and development markets, as well as other professionals giving advice to people in the real estate industry and the general business community. Our two firms are very excited to bring a well-seasoned, diverse, talented group of speakers together for the day to share their knowledge and expertise about their perspective on what is taking place today and its impact into the future. We hope you can join us on November 15th to learn and hear their thoughts on how the current recession is affecting their industries. This is an event you don’t want to miss! Warmly, Scott Slabotsky CBIZ MHM, LLC & Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C.

  • Pitchman: Peter Ricchiuti Hits for the City and Tulane
    Tulane University Pitchman: Peter Ricchiuti hits for the city and Tulane July 30, 2015 8:45 AM Carol Schlueter [email protected] Peter Ricchiuti loves baseball almost as much as the financial markets. The A. B. Freeman School of Business professor plays each Saturday with an alumni group on the Tulane uptown campus. (Photo by Paula Burch-Celentano) Who is the ultimate pitchman for the A. B. Freeman School of Business, Tulane University and New Orleans? Peter Ricchiuti, the dynamo behind Burkenroad Reports, the “stocks under rocks” award- winning market research program that has helped propel more than 700 Tulane grads into jobs in the financial sector. Ricchiuti masterfully juggles the roles of a popular teacher who can actually make financial markets fascinating; an author and sought-after speaker on the lecture circuit; a valued mentor to students who"s always on the hunt for job placements; and the host of a weekly, slightly off-beat radio program about New Orleans business that, despite critics who thought otherwise, keeps finding businesses to profile (and has two other Louisiana cities itching to start similar broadcasts). “I tell employers, these students are an asset from the day they walk in the door because of all this experiential learning.”—Peter Ricchiuti, business professor Tulane University | New Orleans | 504-865-5210 | [email protected] Tulane University A listener who heard him lecture: “This guy is "Human Tabasco!"” Freeman School professor and former dean James McFarland: “His initials are not PR for nothing, right?” But Ricchiuti also enjoys activities where he can"t “speed things up” like vegetable gardening (heirloom tomatoes and odd-shaped watermelons).
