What makes a particular state a great place to do business and why should it matter to you? \; It&rsquo\;s a great question and one we should continually be answering. \;Jonathan Williams\, Vice President for the Center for State Fiscal Reform at the American Legislative Exchange\, co-authors Rich States\, Poor States: ALEC-Laffer Economic State Competitive Index. \; As a result\, Williams knows what makes businesses thrive and helps states become prosperous. \;Williams will present his findings in a special high level briefing at the CEO Roundtable. \;He work has appeared in the Wall Street Journal\, Forbes\, and Investor&rsquo\;s Business Daily. \; He has testified before numerous legislative communities\, and spoken to audiences across the US. \; He is a frequent guest on radio talk shows and has appeared on numerous television outlets\, including the PBS NewsHour with Jim Lehrer\, Fox Business News\, and Bloomberg News. \; He promises to help us understand what really matters in state finances and why that impacts your business.
