The Lubbock Chamber of Commerce will be hosting a luncheon, “A Dialogue with the Dallas Fed” on Thurs., Aug. 17, from 11:30 a.m-1 p.m. at the Overton Hotel and Conference Center.

What does today’s economic climate mean for business in Lubbock and across the state? How is the Federal Reserve using this information to develop sound monetary policies to grow economic opportunity for job creators?  Join in on the conversation with the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas President and CEO Robert Kaplan on the Texas economy and monetary policy. The luncheon will feature remarks by Congressman Jodey Arrington followed by a moderated question and answer session with Kaplan, led by Jeff Mercer, the Senior Associate Dean for the Texas Tech School of Finance.
