Session [13]: Luncheon
/ Keynote Address
Keynote Speaker:
Demetrios
Giannaros
Professor of Economics
School of
Business, University of Hartford, USA &
State Representative, Connecticut House of Representatives, USA
Demetrios Giannaros is a
Professor of Economics in the School of Business at the University of Hartford
since 1980. He received his Ph.D. in Economics, MA in Development Economics and
MA in Political Economy from Boston University. In addition to the University
of Hartford, he has taught at Boston University, Suffolk University, and
Jagiellonian University (Poland.) At the University of Hartford, he has served
in a number of administrative positions: Director of International Studies,
Associate to the Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Director of the
Executive Masters in the Public Administration Program.
Dr. Giannaros has
been a Visiting Faculty Fellow at Yale University. He is also the recipient of
the prestigious and highly competitive American Council on Education (ACE)
Fellowship offered to scholars from around the country for their significant
contributions to education and their promise as future leaders. As an ACE
Fellow in Washington DC, he worked for the International Education Commission
and served as Special Assistant to the President of the George Washington
University concentrating on administration and budgets.
From 1993 to 1998, Dr. Giannaros was the Director of the U.S. Consortium for Management Education in Central and Eastern Europe – a special cooperative project comprised of Columbia University, University of Massachusetts at Amherst and Boston College. The goal of this project was to train professors and executives in former communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe for the transition to market economies and to assist in establishing western-style business schools at these countries’ universities.
He has also served on the Board of Directors of the College of Southeastern Europe and as President of the Northeast Business and Economics Association. Currently, he serves as President of the World Hellenic Inter-Parliamentary Union
He was elected to the Connecticut House of
Representatives for the first time in 1994 and has been serving as State
Representative since then. In the Legislature, he currently serves as Chairman
of the Education Committee and Vice-Chairman of the Finance, Revenue &
Bonding Committee. He also has served as Chairman of the Energy &
Technology Committee, the Connecticut State Tax Commission, the International
Trade Commission and the Legislature’s Clean Air Group.
Dr. Giannaros lectures and makes presentations on economic, business, and public policy issues, nationally and internationally. He has published extensively in many professional business and economics journals and his seminal article, “Budget Deficit Debate, A Review of the Recent Empirical Studies,” co-authored with Dr. Bharat Kolluri, was cited several times in the late 1980s by the Congressional Budget Office in its report to the U.S. Congress. Dr. Giannaros is a pragmatic economist who, as a professional academician and practitioner in the Connecticut Legislature, truly practices what he preaches!
The title of Dr.
Giannaros’ talk is:
“The Economics of
Public Policy Making: Theory versus the Practical Experience of an Academic Economist”
The Napa Valley is a delightful destination, about
an hour and a half drive north of San Francisco, legendary for its beauty and its vineyards.
The fertile and productive Valley runs from the town of Napa in the south to
Calistoga in the north, less than thirty miles, but it is packed with hundreds
of wineries.
A visit to Napa Valley is a
sensory experience: the smells of the wines, the golden hills dotted with
California live oaks and the orderly rows of grapevines, the taste of the foods
and wines caress your senses at every turn. You will have opportunities
to taste still and sparkling Napa Valley wines and good food, enjoy world-class
views, and learn how Napa Valley wines are made.
Cost (extra, not included in Conference registration fees) depends on
the number of people; the per person cost may vary, approximately, from $20 to
$50.
