Note: In-person is by invitation only; all GVAAM advisors may join via Teams

• Date: Tuesday April 22 
• Time: 9-10:30am 
• Location: Microsoft Teams 

We’d like to invite you to join us for a presentation and Q&A with David Kotok! During the call David will present themes from his most recent book The Fed and the Flu: Parsing Pandemic Economic Shocks. 

The Fed and the Flu examines the Fed’s journey, insights from history, lessons from the world’s experience with COVID, and the pandemic’s economic impacts captured in charts. Every pandemic delivers an initial shock, but it also casts a longer shadow over the medium term. And in David’s opinion the most important thing is that every pandemic is a learning opportunity that can be leveraged to better inform responses to future pandemics. 

You should have received a Microsoft Outlook meeting request with Teams link, and we hope you can join us for this exciting event!
