Complimentary Webinar Business Continuity at the Federal Reserve!
Join DRI International Nov. 17 at 2:00 p.m. ET for an exciting discussion of business continuity strategies within the Federal Reserve! The Federal Reserve System has been hard at work ensuring that the U.S. central bank continues to support our nation's economy during a time of global supply chain disruptions, weather events, and economic stimulus payments generating unprecedented demands for U.S. cash while adapting its own operations to function in a pandemic environment. During this webinar, a panel of business continuity professionals from the Federal Reserve Banks of Dallas, Minneapolis, and San Francisco along with the Fed's Cash Product Office, will explain how the Fed's structure allows for autonomous operations among its twelve regional banks when addressing local issues while ensuring unity of effort for events that could have system wide impacts.
