​The Los Angeles Chapter of the National Association for Business Economics (L.A. NABE) was founded on October 18, 1968 by prominent local economists to provide Southern California a forum for business and economic issues and a network for local economists and those interested in business economics.

​

L.A. NABE holds monthly events and has been addressed by members of the Federal Reserve Board, chief economists of Fortune 500 companies, Nobel Laureates, senior government policy makers, as well as directors of national economic forecasting services.
