Update: Fall Events for the Washington DC Chapter

This is just a brief note to remind one and all that we have some great events planned and in process for Fall 2009.

Most important is the all-day event at FDIC on November 4, 2009. We currently have a draft agenda posted on the www.prmia.org web site:

"Regulatory Reform: Defining Issues and Tasks to Enhance Systemic Stability"
http://www.prmia.org/events/view_events.php?eventID=3576

We are just in the planning stages and want to hear YOUR comments on the program and possible speakers. Of note, the Washington DC chapter of CFA Institute is co-sponsoring this event, along with the FDIC University and OTS. Remember that we are looking for senior level executives, risk managers and researchers as potential speakers for this event.

We also have two partner events already in the works with American Enterprise Institute, one on October 22, 2009:

"Deflating Bubble VI"
http://www.prmia.org/events/view_events.php?eventID=3573

Tom, John, Desmond, Alex, Nouriel and Chris get together again to bring economic tidings of comfort and joy. And we have a new AEI partner event in process on November 12, 2009:

"Is It Possible to Re-Privatize the U.S. Financial System?"
http://www.prmia.org/events/view_events.php?eventID=3575

Aren't banks really GSEs? We are still looking for speakers for this event, especially a senior executive from a bank who can speak to the issue of "re-privatization" of the banking industry.

Finally, we are always looking to encourage members of the Washington DC community with an interest in risk issues to join PRMIA. Click here to join PRMIA today:

We are thinking of organizing another general meeting before the end of the year. More soon.

Best,
