History

The Economic Club was founded in 1973 by P.K. Seidman, an eminent Memphis accountant, and Dr. Kurt F. Flexner, who chaired the Department of Economics at The University of Memphis.

The Committee of Founders also included eleven captains of industry, city leaders, and the Trustees of the annual Frank E. Seidman Distinguished Award for Political Economy.

The Economic Club of Memphis is one of a select number of clubs including those in New York, Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago, Atlanta, and Phoenix.
