"The Fed Explained: Telling the Story of the U.S. Central Bank"

Do you ever wonder what the Federal Reserve really does, or why it focuses on certain aspects of the U.S. economy? Join us on March 21 to hear the story of the nation's central bank -- what it is, what it isn't, and how it works. Susan Berthelot is a communications director on the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta's Public Affairs team. Part of their job is to help explain this complex and important institution to its many stakeholders, from the general public to business leaders, academics, bankers, educators, media, Congress and internal staff. 

Meet Susan as she helps demystify the Fed and shares her experiences working for the Federal Reserve Bank.
