Dialogue with the Fed

Presented by:  Christopher Oakley, Vice President

Federal Reserve Bank, Atlanta

 

Join Mr. Christopher Oakely, Vice President and regional executive of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, for an interactive “Dialogue with the Fed” on Thursday, September 13, 2018 at the Country Club of Orlando.

The presentation covers three areas:

  • About the Fed, which is intended to inform the audience about who the Fed is, what the Fed does and, equally important, what the Fed does not do.
  • REIN, which is the Regional Economic Information Network. This is our outreach component and where Chris spends most of his time as a Regional Executive.
  • An Economic Outlook. Chris will share the most current economic information on topics such as GDP, employment, and inflation.

Utilizing a web-based, interactive tool will allow Mr. Oakely to ask questions of the audience and for them to answer in real time using their cell phones.
