Detroit Economic Club President and CEO Beth Chappell, Ford Motor Co.
Executive Chairman Bill Ford and Thomas Dekar, principal and vice chairman of
Deloitte L.L.P., will present “America’s To-Do List” to U.S. Commerce Secretary
Gary Locke in Washington D.C. on Monday, Chappell told the crowd Tuesday at an Economic Club luncheon.
The to-do list is the output from The National Summit, a three-day conference
held last summer in Detroit.
The summit brought C-level speakers and attendees from across the nation to
discuss a national economic policy agenda. About 1,700 people attended the
summit each day.
Locke, who spoke at the summit, invited Ford and The Dow Chemical Co.
Chairman and CEO Andrew Liveris, the summit’s co-chairmen, to bring the to-do list to him in Washington D.C. when the data was compiled.
