Dr. William F. Ford, Weatherford Chair of Finance, recently was elected an NABE Fellow (National Association for Business Economics), based on his outstanding service as a professional business economist, his articles and presentations and his contributions to the field of business economics.
Since 1959, only a few economists have received the coveted NABE designation, and Ford was this year’s single honoree, joining the company of such notables as Alan Greenspan and Milton Friedman.
“The NABE provides so many opportunities to meet and work with the brightest people in our profession, including the younger ones who make the elders of the group, myself included, pedal faster just to keep up,” Ford said. “I am extremely grateful to be among their company.”
“Dr. Ford continues to represent his profession and Middle Tennessee State University with integrity and acumen in the field of economics and finance,” commented Dr. Jim Burton, dean of the Jennings A. Jones College of Business. “I congratulate him on yet another fine accomplishment.”
The NABE is composed of professionals who have an interest in business economics and who want to use the latest economic data and trends to enhance their ability to make sound business decisions. Its mission is to provide leadership in the use and understanding of economics. There are approximately 2,500 NABE members representing 1,500 businesses and organizations around the world.
Ford’s formal NABE induction will take place at the association’s annual meeting in Boston, Sept. 9-12.
