House Financial Services Committee Diversity Subcommittee 2/27. 2 pm.

The new Diversity and Inclusion Subcommittee of the House Financial Services Committee will hold a hearing entitled, “Diversity Trends in the Financial Services Industry.”

As noted by Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (OH-3), Chair of the Subcommittee on Diversity and Inclusion, “In order for the economy to work for everyone, we must embrace and harness the skills and talents of individuals from every background,” said Congresswoman Beatty. “Diversity and inclusion can no longer be buzzwords, rather they need to become part of the overall fabric of the companies and industries that are the engines and lifeblood of our economy. As Diversity and Inclusion Subcommittee Chairwoman, I will work with Members of Congress, government agencies, and the entire financial services industry to help create more ladders of opportunity and safeguard against artificial barriers and ceilings.”

Feb. 27, 2019. 2 pm. Rayburn House Office Bldg.

Feds to Assess Diversity Practices at Banks....

Under Dodd/Frank, "six federal financial regulatory agencies – the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the National Credit Union Administration, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency –" must, by law, develop standards and an approach to assessing the diversity policies and practices of entities they regulate. This means looking at diversity at all banks, investment firms, and credit unions. All of them. Each of these agencies will develop a way to determine if the policies of the entities they regulate are fair, or at least, inclusive. They are asking for comments on this.

Speaking about Crowdfunding at Harvard

I  am speaking about my book on the JOBS Act at Harvard on April 7th. The talk is being sponsored by the African American Student Union of Harvard Business School, a student group, and they do not have the ability to pay speaker expenses.

I am using crowdfunding to pay expenses for my trip. http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/send-me-to-harvard
