The UCA Investment Club and the UCA College of Business will sponsor a panel discussion titled “Financial Services Regulatory Reform: What is it, and does it impact me?”
The event will be held on March 31 at 1:30 p.m. in the UCA College of Business auditorium. It is free and open to the public.
Members of the panel will include Julie Stackhouse, Senior Vice President Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, John Adams, President and CEO – First Security Bank Conway Market, Randy Dennis – DD&F Consulting, Rush Harding – CEO Crews and Associates, Kevin Hester, Executive Vice President – Centennial Bank, and John Womack, Chairman and CEO of Central Arkansas Operations – Arvest Bank.
The discussion will be moderated by Robert “Bunny” Adcock, Jr., as panelists discuss the impact of recent financial regulatory reform as it relates to businesses and consumers in the industry.
Dr. Tammy Rogers, UCA Investment Club advisor, states that the panel discussion will be an excellent opportunity for students and the community to hear more about how financial regulatory reform will impact their lives.
“The popular catch phrase ‘where Wall Street meets Main Street’ has significant meaning in this context, as new regulations have the potential to fundamentally change how customers relate to their bank, credit card company, real estate lender, and investment advisor,” said Rogers.
Dr. Tim Bisping, Chair of the Department of Economics, Finance, and Insurance & Risk Management, adds that this panel discussion will provide an excellent forum in which consumers and industry leaders can interact and discuss relevant issues.
“We are extremely pleased to have this distinguished panel of experts coming to UCA to discuss these significant issues,” said Bisping.
