President-elect Barack Obama meets today in Chicago with his Transition Economic Advisory Board, tasked with helping the incoming Administration develop policies to respond to the economic crisis. At the table will be three Bay Area figures:
- former U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert Reich, now a professor the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley;
- Google Chairman/CEO Eric Schmidt of Atherton; and
- Laura D’Andrea Tyson, a former President’s Council of Economic Advisors chairwoman and current Cal Haas School of Business professor whose name is being bandied about as a possible appointment to a high-ranking Obama Administration economic post.
