But if they’re eligible for investment under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA)\, that could give them an edge.  The CRA encourages banks to support community development initiatives in low- and moderate-income communities. This legislation has been an important tool for driving innovation in partnerships and delivery models and increasing funding to eligible projects.   \n\n\n\nJoin us for a discussion with community-based organizations and bankers who have successfully worked together by developing CRA-eligible project proposals through the Federal Reserve’s Investment Connection program. During the webinar\, you’ll gain an understanding of how to identify potential partners\, develop mutually supportive relationships\, and shape proposals that speak to the needs of organizations and funders alike. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJennie BlizzardCommunications AdvisorFed Communities \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStacy ClaySenior Vice President\, Midwest Retail Lead\, and Director of Community AffairsFirst Bank \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAriel CisnerosLead Community Development AdvisorKansas City Fed \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCasey SorensenCEOPCs for People \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJames Wareham-MorrisSenior Vice President of Risk ManagementAlpine Bank  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSara MiddendorfDirector of St. Louis Builds CreditProsperity Connection \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Connecting Communities®\n\n\n\nReal people.

In this current environment\, a bank may have unrealized holding gains and losses excluded from earnings\, but report accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) for unrealized losses on its available-for-sale (AFS) securities portfolio. As a result\, a bank may experience a dynamic change in its balance sheet\, arising from the devaluation in its bond portfolio and lower or negative tangible common equity. \n\n\n\nPlease join Governor Michelle Bowman\, Senior Vice President Tara Humston\, and Manager Brett Leavell as they discuss the Federal Reserve’s supervisory posture for a bank with falling bond portfolio values and low or negative tangible common equity. This session will also attempt to answer the question—what can a bank do now to address the risks associated with low or negative tangible common equity? \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresenters\n\n\n\nMichelle Bowman\, Governor\, Federal Reserve Board of Governors \n\n\n\nTara Humston\, Senior Vice President\, Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City \n\n\n\nBrett Leavell\, Manager\, Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City URL:https://fedcommunities.org/event/ask-the-fed-discussion-unrealized-losses-community-banks-rising-interest-rate-environment/ LOCATION:Virtual Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://fedcommunities.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Ask-The-Fed-1920-×-1280-px.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230117T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230117T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T131228 CREATED:20221212T171122Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221212T172315Z UID:10000303-1673967600-1673974800@fedcommunities.org SUMMARY:An Economy That Works for All: Moving Towards Equitable Growth DESCRIPTION:Please join the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on Tuesday\, January 17\, 2023\, for a hybrid event centered on achieving equitable growth.

Organizations serving these communities also continue to feel the strain of COVID-19. There are signs of slow stabilization and recovery. There were lower levels of pandemic-related effects in many segments of the economy relative to 2021. But to promote a true recovery that benefits these communities\, it is important to monitor the conditions and needs of the organizations who serve those affected most.  \n\n\n\nJoin us to discuss findings from the National COVID-19 Community Impact Survey administered by the Federal Reserve System. The survey tracks the significant impact that the pandemic has had on underserved communities and those who support them. You’ll also hear perspectives from those working on the frontlines in distressed communities and how organizations can use this data to advocate for themselves and those that they serve.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDawn L.

Learn about new research from the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia on employers’ hiring and retention strategies before and after the pandemic\, specifically focused on manufacturing and leisure/hospitality firms in the Northeast (PA\, NJ and DE). Then hear about local research conducted with firms and workers in Northeast Ohio\, and initiatives designed to strengthen the connection between lower wage workers and good jobs far into the future. Panelists will discuss: \n\n\n\n\n\nWhat strategies such as greater flexibility or higher pay have employers tried and which have proven most effective?\n\n\n\nHow might firms’ experience in Ohio differ from the Northeast or other regions of the U.S.? Are there observable differences by employer size or industry?\n\n\n\nWhat strategies seem to have the greatest staying power as the economic environment shifts?\n\n\n\n\n\nFollowing the discussion\, panelists will take audience questions.   \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPanelist\n\n\n\nKeith Wardrip\, Senior Community Development Research Manager and Advisor\, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia – Hiring and Retaining Lower-Wage and Noncollege Workers During the Pandemic \n\n\n\nBishara Addison\, Director\, Job Preparation\, Fund for Our Economic Future – Strengthening Workplaces \n\n\n\nMichael Baston\, President\, Cuyahoga County Community College \n\n\n\nModerator\n\n\n\nEmily Garr Pacetti\, Vice President and Community Affairs Officer\, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland \n\n\n\nPresented by URL:https://fedcommunities.org/event/fed-talk-evolving-win-workers-talent-attraction-retention-lower-wage-noncollege-workers-today/ LOCATION:Virtual Event CATEGORIES:Fed Talk ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://fedcommunities.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/fedtalk-inflation-1920x1280-1.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230531T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230531T140000 DTSTAMP:20260403T131229 CREATED:20230519T195048Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230519T195049Z UID:10000387-1685538000-1685541600@fedcommunities.org SUMMARY:Ask Us Anything Series: Closing the Digital Skill Divide DESCRIPTION:Please join the Atlanta Fed’s Center for Workforce and Economic Opportunity for a May 31 live webinar\, Ask Us Anything: Closing the Digital Skill Divide.

One reason is that these neighborhoods often lack access to services offered through disaster funds and the necessary insurance to protect their households.   \n\n\n\nThe Federal Reserve and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will share how FEMA programs can help low- to moderate-income communities respond to these challenges. FEMA will clarify the role of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) in recovery. Speakers will also discuss how collaboration among faith communities\, nonprofit organizations\, local businesses\, and economic partners through long-term recovery groups (LTRGs) is critical for rebuilding stronger communities.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNishesh ChaliseManager\, Community Development ResearchFederal Reserve Bank of St. Louis \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMike PickerelVoluntary Agency Liaison and Mass Care SpecialistFEMA Region 7 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDan ShulmanSenior External Affairs SpecialistFEMA Region 5 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJames SinkRegional Flood Insurance Liaison FEMA Region 5 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhitney FelderMarketing Communications SpecialistFed Communitiesmoderator \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Connecting Communities®\n\n\n\nReal people.

We invite you to join us June 21 for the inaugural event focused on federal contracting in Indian Country—its trends\, opportunities\, and barriers\, and its potential for driving revenue and employment that contribute to an economy that works for all. \n\n\n\nOver the last 40 years\, Alaska Native Corporations (ANCs)\, Native Hawaiian Organizations (NHOs)\, and federally recognized tribes have increasingly done business with the world’s largest procurer of goods and services: the U.S. government. Recent research from CICD found that all three Native entity types have seen growth in federal contracting revenue. Federal contracting is the primary source of revenue for ANCs and NHOs and the second-largest source for tribes\, following gaming. Despite this growth\, Native entities’ revenue from federal contracting remains a small share of all federal contracting revenue. \n\n\n\nOur June 21 webinar will explore opportunities for Native entities to advance economic prosperity through federal contracting—and barriers to accessing and succeeding with federal contracting. Subject matter experts from national Native organizations and the federal government will discuss federal contracting’s role in economic development. Representatives from ANCs\, NHOs\, and tribal enterprises will then share their experiences in the industry. \n\n\n\nWe hope you’ll be part of this important conversation. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nMichael “Keawe” Anderson (Native Hawaiian)\, Nakupuna Companies \n\n\n\nJacqui Baldwin-LeClair\, CICD\, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis \n\n\n\nJeremy Berg\, Bodwé Professional Services\, Mno-Bmadsen \n\n\n\nJackson Brossy (Navajo Nation)\, U.S. Small Business Administration Office of Native American Affairs; CICD Leadership Council \n\n\n\nKatherine Carlton (Inupiat\, shareholder of Chugach Alaska Corporation)\, Chugach Education Services\, Inc.\, and Chugach Training and Educational Solutions\, LLC \n\n\n\nChris James (Cherokee)\, National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development; CICD Leadership Council \n\n\n\nCasey Lozar (Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes)\, CICD\, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis \n\n\n\nChad Marchand (Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation)\, Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco \n\n\n\nElijah Moreno (Coastal Band of the Chumash Nation)\, CICD\, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis \n\n\n\nLillian Sparks Robinson (Rosebud Sioux Tribe)\, Native American Contractors Association; Wopila Consulting\, LLC; National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development board \n\n\n\nAlene Tchourumoff\, Community Development and Engagement\, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3:30-3:35 pm CT \n\n\n\n\n\nWelcome\, Overview\, and Introductions\n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\n\nCasey Lozar (Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes)\, CICD\, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis\n\n\n\nAlene Tchourumoff\, Community Development and Engagement\, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3:35-3:37 pm CT \n\n\n\n\n\nOpening Blessing\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3:37-3:50 pm CT \n\n\n\n\n\nFederal Contracting Overview\n\n\n\nPresenter: Elijah Moreno (Coastal Band of the Chumash Nation)\, CICD\, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3:50-4:20 pm CT \n\n\n\n\n\nPanel: Federal Contracting and Tribal Economic Development\n\n\n\nModerator: Chad Marchand (Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation)\, Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco \n\n\n\nPanelists: \n\n\n\n\nJackson Brossy (Navajo Nation)\, U.S. Small Business Administration Office of Native American Affairs\n\n\n\nChris James (Cherokee)\, National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development\n\n\n\nLillian Sparks Robinson (Rosebud Sioux Tribe)\, Native American Contractors Association; Wopila Consulting\, LLC\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4:20-4:30 pm CT \n\n\n\n\n\nClosing Remarks and Transition\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4:30-4:57 pm CT \n\n\n\n\n\nNative Entity Panel: Entry\, Growth\, and Diversification in Federal Contracting \n\n\n\nModerator: Jacqui Baldwin-LeClair\, CICD\, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis \n\n\n\nPanelists: \n\n\n\n\nKatherine Carlton (Inupiat\, shareholder of Chugach Alaska Corporation)\, Chugach Education Services\, Inc.\, and Chugach Training and Educational Solutions\, LLC\n\n\n\nMichael “Keawe” Anderson (Native Hawaiian)\, Nakupuna Companies\n\n\n\nJeremy Berg\, Bodwé Professional Services\, Mno-Bmadsen\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4:57-5:00 pm CT \n\n\n\n\n\nClosing Remarks and Preview of Coming Events\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation URL:https://fedcommunities.org/event/2023-center-indian-country-development-webinar-series-opportunities-barriers-native-federal-contracting/ LOCATION:Virtual Event CATEGORIES:CICD Policy ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://fedcommunities.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/opportunities-barriers-native-federal-contractings-1920x1280-1.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
