Research and anecdotal evidence alike suggest that, while the nation’s economy continues to recover, some communities are still languishing. The 2015 Policy Summit on Housing, Human Capital and Inequality, slated for June 18-19 in Pittsburgh, will examine how economic growth can more equitably benefit low- and moderate-income individuals and communities. This forum, now in its 12th year, features experts from across the nation who will present the latest research and field initiatives on topics related to equitable development. Interactive sessions prompt engagement from audience members to ensure a dynamic, productive exchange of knowledge and best practices. You’ll come away better informed and, we hope, inspired.

Why Pittsburgh? Policy solutions are not one-size-fits all. To that end, we feel it’s important to have discussions about issues germane to our regions outside of Washington. And Pittsburgh is a city known as much for its vibrant resurgence as for its industrial past. You’ll have a chance to see and hear about promising local developments.

The popular law enforcement panel is also back to discuss recent money laundering cases.

The BSA Coalition is comprised of bankers, regulators, law enforcement officials and other AML professionals, and was founded in 2008 to provide tools, resources and expertise to assist financial institutions in creating highly effective BSA/AML programs. The ACAMS Private-Public Sector Service Award was given to the BSA Coalition in 2013 for its tremendous partnership efforts in addressing AML/Sanctions/Financial Crime.

The group’s website, www.bsacoalition.org, provides membership information and links to other sites designed to facilitate BSA/AML compliance. We look forward to seeing you!

The afternoon session will highlight how rural areas are contending with the boom bust cycles of energy extraction. The expert panel will examine the history of energy extraction, ways communities retain wealth in their regions and the policy implications of these boom/bust cycles.

We will also explore a case study on Ohio’s Third Frontier. Entrepreneurship is a driving force of innovation and economic growth, yet entrepreneurs face significant challenges in transforming commercial opportunity into a viable business. In Ohio, the Ohio Third Frontier's six regional Entrepreneurial Signature Program (ESP) lead organizations and 13 Edison Technology Incubators are key resources for helping translate innovation ideas into investment-worthy companies through business assistance and pre-seed investments in startup companies.

The goal of this series is to highlight topics that are relevant to the CDFI industry, and provide access to experts who are working in these specialty areas. The webinars are intended to be accessible to a broad audience and provide information that can help build capacity in the CDFI industry.

This webinar is aimed at sharing information with “Traditional Bankers” who may wish to know more about Alternative Lenders (such as micro lenders, community loan funds, CDFIs, and revolving loans) and how they can either partner with these lenders on participation loans or how they can maintain better customer service by referring loans that they are unable to do in house, to an alternative source.

The third session will be based in Detroit and will explore strategies being used to disinvest in declining areas for the purpose of targeting resources to places with greater market strength. We will consider new and emerging “undevelopment” policies and programs being used, or considered, in the four participating cities. The discussion will include program frameworks; resource needs; proponents and opponents; and measures of success. The discussion—an opportunity for experts in the cities to learn from one another’s experience—will consider the reduction of capital and social investment in certain areas and new strategies to stabilize extremely distressed neighborhoods.

There is no cost to attend. Registration is required.

Addressing homelessness has traditionally been considered solely the responsibility of social services and charitable organizations. Today however, homeless service agencies in the Commonwealth are sharing that responsibility by creating partnerships with other institutions and with the business community to improve performance outcomes for clients. The focus of these partnerships represents a shift from crisis response systems to a focus on rapid rehousing, employment, and education with connections to existing community resources. With this event, the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond is taking the initiative to work with partner organizations to share outcomes, explore best practices and expand the connection between homelessness and community and economic development. Topics and their links to homelessness include: foreclosure, workforce challenges, homeless veterans strategies, community financing alternatives, and collaborations with education partners from preschool to college. Hear from experts who are making the connection between homelessness and other key pillars of community stabilization.

There is no cost to attend. Registration is required.

For the past 10 years, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland has convened an annual Policy Summit aimed at bringing important policy discussions outside the Beltway. The goal of this two-day forum is to share expert knowledge, the latest research, and promising ideas among professionals engaged in community and economic development in the Great Lakes region.

This year, we are expanding our reach to include the nation’s Northeast region, whose communities face many of the same challenges. For the first time, the Cleveland Fed is partnering with the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia in sponsoring the Policy Summit on Housing, Human Capital, and Inequality. The focus? Regulations and how they work as tools for policy implementation.

Learn from national experts on topics including consumer finances, household balance sheets, the future of housing finance, and student loans. Confer with colleagues on common issues facing your communities. And hear keynote addresses that will challenge and inspire you. Cleveland Fed President & CEO Sandra Pianalto and Princeton University’s Eldar Shafir will provide keynote addresses.

This year the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland will offer a special rate for educators. Research and practitioner sessions will focus on the changing role of regulations in economic and community development.

At our fourth annual conference, it’s “back to basics” for BSA/AML. The emphasis will be where we’ve been, how we’ve adjusted to the economic downturn and opportunities for improving what we do in this new economic landscape. Barbara A. Yastine, Chief Administrative Officer of Ally Financial Inc. and chair of Ally Bank, will offer her perspective on this topic while providing an update on the condition of the financial industry. Dan Soto, Chief Compliance Officer of Ally Financial Inc. will speak about the impact economic conditions have had on BSA/AML, including lessons learned. Industry and law enforcement officials will speak about cyber threats and when and how to involve law enforcement in money laundering cases. Additional discussions will focus on BSA/AML fundamentals and regulatory guidance, trends and emerging issues.
