About the Charlotte Economics Club

The Charlotte Economics Club (CEC) is a professional organization dedicated to advancing the understanding and practical application of economic principles throughout the greater Charlotte region.

Our monthly luncheons and events feature prominent voices from the worlds of economics, policy, and industry, offering timely perspectives on topics ranging from public policy and regional development to international markets and financial innovation.

Whether you’re an economist by training or simply driven by the impact of economic trends on your industry, CEC offers a space to engage, learn, and lead.

The Charlotte Economics Club is proud to support economic literacy, career advancement, and regional growth by bringing the best of economic thinking to the forefront of our community.
