A: AUBER Units Make Money the Old
Fashioned Way…They Earn It
This session is all about survival. With the budget axe

external funding sources in order to assure their continued
existence. Hear interesting perspectives on the perennial
hunt for money, and add some useful tips to your center's
survival kit.

B: BEA Update and Roundtable Discussion
The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) provides key information on economic growth, regional development, and the nation's position in the world economy through its national income and product accounts (NIPA), its state and local personal income series (REIS), and its input-output accounts (RIMS-II). AUBER users of BEA data are encouraged to attend this session to learn about BEA budget priorities and planned advancements to their existing statistical programs and data series. The BEA staff who comprise our panel are actively seeking user feedback.
