More about the Louisville Branch
Sadiqa Reynolds is CEO of the Perception Institute and president of the Louisville Urban League Sports and Learning Complex. As a member of the Louisville Branch board of directors, she values the opportunity to help economic experts see how the Fed’s work can move the needle for the disenfranchised and disadvantaged.
Governance
The Louisville Branch’s board of directors provides one of the most direct ways for Branch staff to gauge the economic conditions of the area. Representing all parts of the Louisville Zone, the seven members of the board play a major role in helping the St. Louis Fed monitor the economic pulse of the area.
Advisory Councils and Boards
The St. Louis Fed’s Industry Councils are also a significant part of the conversation. The four councils—Real Estate, Agribusiness, Transportation and Health Care, the last of which is headed by the Louisville regional executive—consist of industry leaders around the District who gather semiannually to discuss business conditions.
Community Development Advisory Council
Executives from organizations throughout the Federal Reserve's Eighth District serve on the Bank’s Community Development Advisory Council. The executives represent nonprofit organizations, financial institutions, universities, government and foundations.
Branch Educator Advisory Boards
Members of the Educator Advisory Boards strengthen the Branch’s connections to schools and universities, and provide feedback about materials and opportunities for teachers.
Outreach & Education
St. Louis Fed President and CEO Jim Bullard meets regularly with Branch leaders, business and civic groups in the four zones that make up the St. Louis Fed’s District to share insights on the U.S. economy, gather views from community members and better understand local economic conditions.

The Louisville Branch hosts and sponsors community development events and facilitates partnerships with local and regional nonprofits to ensure fair and equal access to credit for low-income populations.
The economic education staff promotes the teaching and learning of economics and personal finance. By working with advisory boards of local educators, the staff produces online curriculum and other lesson plans to benefit students in the region.
