Glenn Hegar, Texas State Comptroller, has confirmed that he will address the delegates of the NIRI Southwest Regional Conference on August 23, 2018 at the JW Marriott in Austin.
Mr. Hegar is set to discuss Texas’ State of the State, with an overview of the state’s financial position and trends impacting the state’s overall financial health (including the $11 Billion Rainy Day Fund) as well as future state budget projections. Mr. Hegar will also address state and corporate hot topics such as the benefits of being located in Texas, taxes, minimum wage, employee rights, and paid sick leave.
This session will prove to be most informative to the delegates of this year’s NIRI Regional Southwest Conference, aptly themed “The IR Enigma,” which centers around decoding some of the most compelling complexities of the current IR landscape.
