ABOUT US
The Seattle Economics Council (SEC) was founded in 1968 to provide a forum for business and economic issues and a network for local economists and those interested in business economics. The SEC is associated with the Pacific Northwest Regional Economic Conference (PNREC) and is the Seattle-area chapter of the National Association for Business Economics (NABE).
