Bruce Kellison has been named president of the Association for University Business and Economic Research (AUBER) for 2016-2017.
AUBER is a national group of university-based research centers which focus on regional economic development.
The IC² Institute’s Bureau of Business Research is a longstanding AUBER member and hosted its annual meeting in Austin in 2009. Kellison says he will work in the coming year on strengthening the benefits that members receive from the organization through publications and webinars on topics related to regional economic competitiveness, and he hopes to expand the number of member centers, especially in Texas.
