George W. Rauch, CEO General Propeller Co.
"The economic probabilities of the next four years under the new administration"

About George

George Rauch, a longtime resident of Longboat Key, Florida, is Chief Executive Officer of Bradenton-based General Propeller Company, and Sarasota-based Tropical Beach Resorts (located on Siesta Key). Prior to moving to Florida, Mr. Rauch was an investment banker, and he lived in New York, and Chicago.

Mr. Rauch did his undergraduate work in Economics at Indiana University and graduate work in business at New York University. He became an officer and stockholder of Paine, Webber, Jackson & Curtis in 1971, was a founder of The Balcor Company (since sold to American Express), and purchased General Propeller Company in 1975.

George will review the last several years economic reactions to things, then look at what the new admin is saying they'll do. A small handout will wrap up the talk which points out the unbelievable power of this economy and how it affects the whole world but is, itself, somewhat insulated from what is happening in the rest of the world.
 

Mr. Rauch has served as a commissioner for the Town of Longboat Key. He was a member of the Longboat Key Planning and Zoning Board for many years, and he served as president of the board of St. Stephen’s Episcopal School in Bradenton, Florida.
