Convening
Every Friday morning from 7:30-8:30 a.m. in the Homer S. Fisher Room at the UT Outreach Center, the East Tennessee Economic Council (ETEC) hosts a breakfast meeting for members and guests, inviting speakers to share interesting and pertinent information. Our members enjoy the opportunity to network with senior level management in the federal and business community in a casual environment while staying up-to-date on key issues. Dress ranges from golf shirts and khakis to suits and ties.
