Financial exploitation of older individuals through fraud and scams is a growing threat, and preventing such exploitation is important to maintaining elders’ economic health. Please join the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago for Preventing Elder Financial Exploitation: Research, Policies, and Strategies, a virtual event in which a diverse group of individuals will talk about their research, policy, advocacy, and collaboration concerning this vital topic. As a trusted convener, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago seeks to elevate discourse on confronting elder financial exploitation.
The webinar will happen on Wednesday, April 3, 2024, from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm CT (12:00 pm to 1:30 pm ET). Austan Goolsbee, the Chicago Fed president, will kick off the virtual event with an address.
