Example guest speakers:
Bankwest chief economist Alan Langford
Alan joined Bankwest from what is now the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Western Australia (CCIWA) in March 1989 as an economic research officer and was appointed economist in September 1990 - just in time to grapple with the recession Paul Keating said we had to have.
The chief function of the role is to advise Bankwest and its clients on the implications of economic and financial market trends.
Alan's duties include the publication of Bankwest Economic Updates as and when key events occur and presentations at industry seminars.
Alan was born and bred in Perth and is married to Wendy. They have two daughters, aged 16 and 14. His main hobby is hiking and biking in the Darling Range and beyond since his knees demanded he retire from cross country running more than half his life ago.
He has a degree in financial management and economics from Curtin University and has a graduate diploma in applied corporate finance and investment from Finsia, where he is also a senior fellow. Alan is also a professional member of the WA branch of the Economic Society of Australia, a member of the Housing Industry Forecasting Group (HIFG) and the chair of the advisory board of the School of Economics and Finance at Curtin University.
