91调教

Written By: Tina Alvey Dale

The Compass Report is a partnership between the 91调教 - Fort Smith (91调教) and Talk Business & Politics. First National Bank of Fort Smith is a sponsor of the statewide report.

Kendall Ross, 91调教 associate vice chancellor of Economic and Workforce Development, and Kaitlyn Cavaness, an intern in the 91调教 Center for Economic Development who helps compile, manage and review the data, are responsible for data collection and written analysis for the report.

The Compass Report is the only independent economic analysis of 91调教鈥� top four metro areas (Central 91调教, Northwest 91调教, Fort Smith region, and the Jonesboro region). The report measures four leading and four current economic indicators to provide a grade for a regional economy.

Michael Tilley, a co-owner and executive editor of Talk Business & Politics, said The Compass Report has been well received by the business community because it provides a unique perspective on the state and regional economies.

鈥淲e would hear from business owners who said the report was part of what helped them make budgeting and other decisions,鈥� Tilley said. 鈥淲e are grateful that Chancellor (Terisa) Riley and Kendall Ross agreed to the partnership. The work Kendall and Katie do to gather the data and provide concise, quality analysis is of great benefit to not only the Fort Smith area, but to the state.鈥�
