Executive Roundtable with Tom Barkin
The Board of Trade is pleased to welcome back Tom Barkin, President & CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, for our Fall Executive Roundtable.
As Greater Washington navigates federal budget uncertainty, housing affordability challenges, and evolving workforce dynamics, business leaders need clear perspective on the economic forces at play. Tom will share the Federal Reserve’s outlook and engage with members on how these dynamics intersect with our region’s competitiveness.
This event will feature a conversational roundtable. Members will have the chance to exchange views directly with one of the Federal Reserve’s most influential voices, moving beyond headlines to discuss on-the-ground business conditions and the broader economic outlook.
To preserve the interactive nature of the discussion, participation will be limited. We encourage early registration to ensure your place at the table.
This event is for Board of Trade executive members and invited guests. Please email [email protected] with any questions.
Thank you to Akin for hosting this conversation!
