Wham and an escort of eleven Buffalo Soldiers were transporting a payroll of $28,000 ($1,016,272 in 2026) in gold and silver coins from Fort Grant to Fort Thomas. The party was ambushed by a group of bandits, who, after over an hour of fighting, made off with the payroll. The money was never recovered.

The Westin La Paloma Resort & Spa

The University of Arizona Eller College of Management is pleased to announce its 44th annual Economic Luncheon presented by PNC Bank. The event will take place from noon to 1:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 4, at the Westin La Paloma Resort, located at 3800 E. Sunrise Drive.






Keynote speakers Jennifer Pullen, executive director of Eller’s Economic and Business Research Center, and Gus Faucher, senior vice president and chief economist of The PNC Financial Services Group, will share their outlook for the national, state and local economies as well as explain what it means for businesses and households.

“Business and community leaders are making decisions today that depend on where the economy is headed,” said Karthik Kannan, dean and Halle Chair in Leadership at the Eller College of Management. “This luncheon brings national expertise and local economic research together to help them understand the trends and prepare for what comes next. We appreciate PNC Bank’s continued support of this annual event.”

This year’s forecast will focus on the slower pace of Arizona’s economy, including uneven job growth and persistent housing affordability challenges. Additionally, Pullen and Faucher will examine the forces shaping the economic outlook for the nation, Arizona and Tucson including inflation, Federal Reserve policy, immigration and federal spending. They will also explore longer-term questions about population, workforce participation and the ways that artificial intelligence and automation could reshape employment.&nbsp;

“Strong economies and communities are built on informed decision-making,” said Kyle Steinbuch, PNC regional president and head of Corporate Banking for Arizona. “PNC’s support of the Economic Outlook Luncheon helps bring together insightful national and local perspectives to help Arizona’s business leaders understand what’s ahead, navigate change and identify opportunities for continued growth.”

The event is held in the Grand Canyon Ballroom of the Westin La Paloma Resort. Tickets are $110 per person or $1,100 for a table of 10. Check-in opens at 11:30 a.m.; the program begins at noon.

Registration for the <a href="https://events.trellis.arizona.edu/en/f44lNu67/economic-outlook-luncheon-5a3UV43WcZt/overview?_gl=1*1gwomqx*_gcl_au*MTc0OTk2NDQ4OS4xNzg3MTU3OTY5*_ga*NTQ3MjgwOTAyLjE3ODcxNTc5Njk.*_ga_7PV3540XS3*czE3OTQzNTEzNTYkbzIyJGcxJHQxNzk0MzUyMTk2JGo2MCRsMCRoMTYxMTk3NDc2MA" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Eller Economic Outlook Luncheon</a> is now open.

Project Management Fundamentals Course

For <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/project/project-management-software" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Microsoft Project</a> training to be effective it needs to be integrated, applied, and enjoyable. By guiding participants through the construction and use of both sample and actual projects (from your workplace), we have found our training to be both productive, and well received. Other courses may show you how to find the product features – our course teaches you how to use the features to produce meaningful results.

<h2>Who should take this Microsoft Project Best Practices 101 course?</h2>

This course is for anyone who intends to be involved in planning and/or controlling projects using Microsoft Project. (We have courses available for all versions of Microsoft Project.)

<h2>Where is this course offered?</h2>

The Microsoft Project Best Practices 101 course is offered on an open-enrollment basis at our Project Management Education Center in <a href="https://consulting.ky/project-management-training/bellevue-project-management-courses/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Bellevue/Seattle</a>, WA, (which also serves Kirkland, Redmond, Renton, Everett, Federal Way, and Tacoma), as well as at our Project Management Education Center in <a href="https://consulting.ky/project-management-training/tucson-project-management-courses/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Tucson</a>, AZ (which also serves the Greater Phoenix area, Oro Valley, and Sierra Vista / Fort Huachuca), and other select locations such as <a href="https://consulting.ky/project-management-training/grand-cayman-project-management-courses/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Grand Cayman</a>.&nbsp; We also provide it on an on-site basis anywhere in the world, and <a href="https://consulting.ky/project-management-training/online-project-management-courses/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">online</a> using live instructors.

<h2>How does it work for live online Microsoft Project training?</h2>
