UNH Economist Presents Economic Forecast For Family 
Businesses Oct. 6
September 15, 2010 
DURHAM, N.H. – How will the economy and family-owned businesses fare as we enter the 
second decade of the 21st century? Business professor Ross Gittell from the University of 
New Hampshire will present data and forecasts on the economy and offer his advice and 
insights for family businesses at the next meeting of the UNH Center for Family Business.
“New Decade -- The Economy and Effect on Family Businesses” will be held Wednesday, 
Oct. 6, 2010, at The Derryfield, 625 Mammoth Road, Manchester. The event begins at 8 
a.m. with a continental breakfast, with the program following at 8:30 a.m. The program 
ends at noon, followed by lunch.
Gittell will discuss whether slow growth and high economic uncertainty will continue, and if 
the end of the federal stimulus and concerns about deficits in Washington, DC, and 
Concord will result in tax increases and long-term economic malaise. He also will discuss where the 
business opportunities will be, whether the green economy really is green with profit-making opportunities 
for family-owned businesses, and what sectors of the economy will be strongest in New Hampshire and for 
family-owned businesses.
The event also includes a panel of family business owners who will discuss what is happening in their 
businesses and share ideas for the future.
Gittell is James R. Carter Professor and professor of management at the Whittemore School of Business 
and Economics. He is vice president and forecast manager at the New England Economic Partnership and 
on the board of the Exeter Trust Company and Exeter Health Services. His economic forecasts and insights 
have been highlighted in national and state media outlets including The Wall Street Journal, National Public 
Radio and the Boston Globe. 
Please register by Monday, Sept. 30, 2010. To register or become a member of the Center for Family 
Business, call Barbara Draper at 603-862-1107, or barbara.draper@unh.edu. For first-time attendees, the
