The Spiros Voutsinas Memorial Lecture: Reflecting on the 2008 Financial Crisis with Joseph R. Ficalora

The event has been rescheduled to be held on Wednesday, January 23rd.  Due to inclimate weather the original scheduled date (November 15th) had been postponed.   

Please join the Foreign Policy Assocation in welcoming Joseph R. Ficalora, President of the New York Community Bank. Mr. Ficalora will be reflecting on lessons from the 2008 financial crisis.

This lecture is part of the annual Spiros Voutsinas Memorial Lecture Series, established to commemorate Spiros Voutsinas, President of the Atlantic Bank and long time member of the Foreign Policy Association. This event will coincide with the Foreign Policy Association’s year-long Centennial Lecture Series, celebrating 100 years of commitment to fostering an educated public discourse on the most influential topics in U.S. foreign policy. The Foreign Policy Association’s Centennial Lecture Series features extraordinary speakers, who will take the long view and imagine the future in their respective disciplines. The importance of providing citizens with accessible, in-depth, non-partisan material is vital to future world peace and prosperity. In one of his final public addresses, President Franklin D. Roosevelt told the Foreign Policy Association that “In a democracy the Government functions with the consent of the whole people. The latter must be guided by the facts.” Now more than ever, this message continues to have resonance, and will remain the guiding principle and goal of the Foreign Policy Association.
