Prepare a complete slide presentation for the Board of Directors (BOD) outlining the justification for implementing a new Economic Advisory Group function describing activities, applications, justification and benefits of implementing an ECO operating unit. Use the SLIDE GUIDE (under RESOURCES tab) for slide ideas. Your slides must convince the BOD of the many advantages of ECO and highlight specific initiatives that ECO will address in your company. Offer examples where applicable and provide concrete problem/action/result strategies to overcome apparent company obstacles.

Your presentation should include approximately 15 presentation slides (excluding title and references slides) and provide good graphics and tabulated data to support your examples. Please make sure you have good selected indicators and tabulated examples.  Make sure you have edited your work prior to submittal.  Be sure to cite your resources and provide the references using APA format.  Remember to reference all work cited or quoted by the text authors. You should be doing this often in your responses.
