Zoom | March 30, 9:00-10:30pm ET / 6:00-7:30pm PT | California Public Banking Alliance Town Hall with Eric Hardmeyer
California Public Banking Alliance is presenting a Town Hall on March 30th: From Legislation to Operation: The Nuts and Bolts of Opening Public Banks in California. Serious efforts are underway to establish public banks in cities and regions throughout California. Eric Hardmeyer, the former CEO of the Bank of North Dakota (BND), will share his experiences at the helm of the nation’s only state public bank, where he served for over 20 years. He will elaborate on the mission, design, and mechanisms that enabled the BND to weather the 2008 financial crisis and successfully roll out more PPP loans than any other state during the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ll also hear from elected officials and advocates on constructing business plans, viability studies, and governance frameworks for California public banks. More details. Register.
