SUMMARY:Addressing the Long-Term Unemployment Crisis
DESCRIPTION:The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta’s Center for Workforce and Economic Opportunity and AARP invite you to join us on Wednesday\, August 4\, at 2 p.m. (ET) for a virtual event\, Addressing the Long-Term Unemployment Crisis. This conversation will focus on the current long-term unemployment crisis and what innovative solutions are available to support the long-term unemployed. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in millions of new long-term unemployed individuals. As the country continues to reopen\, many long-term unemployed workers may return to the workforce\, but individuals will be reentering a job market that looks different from a year and a half ago. Businesses large and small embraced technology and automation in new ways\, accelerating trends that existed before COVID-19. These individuals will need training\, guidance\, and support to reenter the workforce successfully. \n\n\n\nPrevious economic crises have shown that the long-term unemployed have historically found it more challenging to find reemployment. Ongoing high levels of long-term unemployment can lead to more discouraged job seekers dropping out of the labor force. When long-term unemployment is widespread\, as it is now\, especially among job seekers ages 55 and older\, the effects on the labor force can be long-lasting and influence economic recovery more broadly. \n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\nFederal Reserve Bank of Atlanta Center for Workforce and Economic Opportunity \n\n\n\nAARP

SUMMARY:Fed@YourDesk: The Economic Gains from Equity
DESCRIPTION:In the United States\, gender and race remain largely unexplained predictors of labor market outcomes in the economy. The disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on women and communities of color will likely increase associated disparities. The presenters will explain how these disparities have hindered economic activity in significant ways and could continue to do so. Join this session to learn \n\n\n\n\nHow disparities have evolved over the past two decadesWhere disparities are most pronounced\, including employment\, hours worked\, educational attainment\, and occupationEconomic costs of educational and labor market disparitiesWhat the dollar cost is to the economy\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nSpeakers will discuss their recent publication. Questions are encouraged and can be submitted in advance of the presentation. \n\n\n\n\nLaura Choi\, vice president\, community development\, Federal Reserve Bank of San FranciscoLily Seitelman\, research associate\, Federal Reserve Bank of San FranciscoShelby Buckman\, research associate\, Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation

SUMMARY:Connecting Communities: Innovative Models to Create a More Equitable Lending Landscape for Underserved Entrepreneurs
DESCRIPTION:The pandemic exposed deep structural inequities in America’s financial system. When COVID-19 hit the US\, it became clear that millions of Americans and small businesses were disconnected from our banking system. This session will cover the kinds of partnerships and innovative programs that were created to help fill the capital void for the small businesses that are struggling the most.  \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent details \n\n\n\nThe public and private sectors collaborated in a number of states to set up funds to provide responsible and affordable credit to these small businesses. The California Rebuilding Fund and the Southern Opportunity and Resilience (SOAR) Fund are key examples of these partnerships. Both programs saw community groups\, community development financial institutions\, and private and philanthropic capital (and in California’s case\, the state government) come together to provide low-interest loans to businesses. \n\n\n\nA number of new models have arisen that may continue to be used long-term to provide small-business owners—particularly those that are underserved by traditional financial institutions—with capital to survive and grow. This panel brings together thought leaders within these sectors to discuss these new partnerships and models\, as well as methods of creating opportunities for a more equitable lending landscape. Speakers will also inform the ways federally-funded and state-led capital access efforts can help scale these innovative programs to help them thrive long-term. \n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\n\nBeth Bafford\, vice president of syndications and strategy\, Calvert Impact CapitalTahreem Kampton\, corporate treasurer and chief investment officer\, MicrosoftRocio Sanchez-Moyano\, senior researcher\, Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (facilitator)Luz Urrutia\, CEO\, Accion Opportunity FundMatuschka Lindo Briggs\, director of special projects and strategic support\, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (moderator)

SUMMARY:Fintech\, Racial Equity\, and an Inclusive Financial System
DESCRIPTION:Join on August 25 for a virtual event to launch a new issue of Community Development Innovation Review that explores the promises and pitfalls of fintech as a means of expanding financial inclusion and reaching underserved communities of color. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInnovations in financial technology\, or fintech\, are changing the ways people interact with the financial system. With these changes comes the possibility of improving inclusion for those who currently lack access to the traditional financial system\, including low-income communities and communities of color. But with new ways of doing business come new risks of perpetuating existing inequities or creating new ones.  \n\n\n\nThe program features Mary C. Daly\, president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco\, in conversation with Ida Rademacher\, executive director of the Aspen Institute Financial Security Program. Experts from across the community development and fintech spaces will discuss the risks and opportunities of financial technology innovation. \n\n\n\nThis program is designed to educate and inspire nonprofits\, banks\, fintechs\, CDFIs\, state and local government\, and business leaders. Register today to learn about strategies that advance financial inclusion for low-income communities and communities of color. \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Mary C. Daly \n\n\n\nPresident & CEOFederal Reserve Bank of San Francisco \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIda Rademacher \n\n\n\nVice President & Executive DirectorAspen Institute Financial Security Program \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarla Blow \n\n\n\nPresident and CEOSkoll Foundation \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJulieta Cuéllar \n\n\n\nPolicy Research and Communications ManagerPropel \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKelly Cochran \n\n\n\nDeputy DirectorFinRegLab \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKabir Kumar \n\n\n\nDirectorFlourish Ventures \n\n\n\n\n\nVisit the event registration page for speaker profiles. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by
