Tom Knauer was contacted about this Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland presentation on July 16. It is offered virtual and in person - Register now.
It is not a “Club” event but after discussion with our program chair it was decided to share it in case it is something that interests you and you wish to attend on July 16th.
Our program chair may also look into a program for our club in the future should they be willing to do onsite presentations. Sounds interesting!!
Hi Akron Rotary,
We're hosting on July 16 a look at American monetary history, specifically the crises and unsuccessful institutions that led to the Federal Reserve's creation in 1913. Given your members' interest in lunchtime programming, we thought they'd appreciate a direct invitation.
This event is virtual and in-person (with a building tour of our 1923 headquarters for those attending in Cleveland). I've included ready-to-use copy below for your newsletter, social media, and website.

Before the Federal Reserve existed, America's monetary policy was handled by a rotating cast of institutions—all of which didn’t succeed. Join Cleveland Fed economist emeritus Owen Humpage on July 16 (1–2 pm EDT) to explore the 19th- and 20th-century economic crises and political battles that ultimately led to the Fed's creation in 1913. Virtual and in-person participation available, and those in person can tour the Bank's 1923 building. Register.
Thanks for considering!
