Media representatives are invited to attend a Friday (Oct. 16) lecture
by Randall Kroszner, former Federal Reserve governor and economic
adviser to President George W. Bush, at the University of Mississippi.
Kroszner, professor of economics at the University of Chicago and a
frequent guest on cable network CNBC, plans to discuss the state of the
economy during his keynote address of the 2009 Banking and Finance
Symposium.
The event is in the inn's Ballrooms C and D. Media must arrive by 11
a.m. to set up. The symposium luncheon begins at 11:30, and Kroszner is
expected to begin his lecture at noon. He should finish in about an
hour and will be available 10-15 minutes for media questions. Everyone
must be out of the room no later than 1:30 p.m.
Kroszner served as a governor of the Federal Reserve System from March
2006 until January 2009. During his time as a member of the Federal
Reserve Board, he chaired the committee on supervision and regulation
of banking institutions and the committee on consumer and community
affairs. In these capacities, he took a leading role in developing
responses to the financial crisis and in undertaking new initiatives to
improve consumer protection and disclosure, including rules related to
home mortgages and credit cards. He holds degrees in economics from
Brown and Harvard universities.
