Program Policies

Federal Reserve policy prohibits our employees from speaking to political organizations, at political gatherings, or at fundraising events. Please note that we generally do not accept requests for events sponsored by investment or financial firms. Other restrictions may apply.

New York Fed policy prohibits employees from accepting gifts, honoraria, or compensation. We kindly ask that hosts do not purchase or present any gifts, as our speakers would be required to decline or return them.
