EconomicsWisconsin Receives $5,000 AT&T
Innovation Award to support Fall Seminars

Series to Introduce Opinion Leaders to
Principles of Economics and Personal Finance

MILWAUKEE, Friday, October 3, 2014 AT&T Wisconsin announced today that EconomicsWisconsin
has received a $5,000 AT&T Innovation & Investment Award to support the Economics for Opinion Leaders
seminar series being held this fall in Milwaukee.

The goal is to present a series of two-day seminars on economics to Wisconsin opinion leaders, including
journalists, corporate leaders, clergy, non-profit managers, elected officials and business owners.

Our intention is that, after attending these seminars, Wisconsins opinion leaders will walk away with an
enhanced understanding of the key concepts of economics behind the important issues they have to
address and discuss with their respective stakeholders, said Enrique Bacalao, president and chief
executive officer of EconomicsWisconsin. We are grateful for the support of AT&T in helping us reach over
100 opinion leaders through these seminars.

The series will introduce Wisconsin opinion leaders to the economic way of thinking, which stresses choices,
costs, incentives, rules of the economic system, trade, and gains from trade. The seminars will feature
energetic presentations, clear examples and interactive simulations on voluntary trade, the role of property
rights, and the laws of supply and demand.

EconomicsWisconsin began its program in 1963 with the goal of helping teachers gain competence and
confidence teaching economics. The non-profit, non-partisan organization has a reputation of presenting
teachers with training that stresses mainstream, widely agreed-upon, concepts and principles of economics
and personal finance. They have now expanded their efforts to reach opinion leaders in the state, who often
need to explain economic decisions that have to be taken.

EconomicsWisconsin is a great organization that provides teachers with training on how to best educate
students on the principles of economics, said State Rep. Dale Kooyenga (R-Brookfield). These seminars
are an excellent way to enhance educators own understanding of economics which has an impact on every
aspect of our community.


The AT&T Wisconsin Innovation & Investment Award program provides funding to local organizations that
enhance and give back to their communities. The program is focused on awarding grants to organizations
and programs that improve the community by advancing education, enhancing the environment, promoting
economic development or delivering other community services.
