Along with this population growth has been an increase in the rate of financial exploitation of older adults. Many of the risk factors for financial exploitation of older adults are normal experiences of most\, if not all\, older adults\, including retirement\, major medical events\, physical and cognitive declines\, and the death of a spouse. \n\n\n\nIn the next episode of our Talk About Payments\, or TAP\, webinar series on November 10\, Drs. Thomas Blomberg and Julie Brancale\, criminologists from Florida State University\, will describe the current research\, theory\, and policy responses associated with this growing social problem. They will address the patterns and variations of financial exploitation of older adults and discuss why some older adults may be more vulnerable than others. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of areas in need of additional research and policy attention. Scarlett Heinbuch\, a payments risk expert at the Atlanta Fed\, will moderate the discussion. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented By URL:https://fedcommunities.org/event/financial-exploitation-of-aging-adults/ LOCATION:Virtual Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fedcommunities.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/FRB-ATL-Financial-Explotation-Aging-Adults.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20221117T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20221117T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T180529 CREATED:20221115T005453Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221115T005455Z UID:10000354-1668677400-1668704400@fedcommunities.org SUMMARY:Fall 2022 Opportunity & Inclusive Growth Institute Research Conference DESCRIPTION:The Opportunity & Inclusive Growth Institute will host its annual research conference on November 17\, 2022.

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:20260403T180529 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.

Join us for a Connecting Communities webinar exploring new insights from the Federal Reserve Small Business Credit Survey (SBCS) 2023 Report on Employer Firms. \n\n\n\nThe Federal Reserve and a diverse group of nonprofits have administered the SBCS since 2016.
