Francisca García-Cobián Richter, research assistant professor at the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences, was selected to serve on the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland’s Equity and Inclusion Advisory Council. Richter is one of eight council members who will work together with bank leadership to provide advice, strategic counsel and feedback aimed at improving diversity, equity, inclusion and opportunity at the Cleveland Fed and the region it serves.
“We are proud to announce the creation of the Equity and Inclusion Advisory Council. Each council member brings his or her experience, expertise and perspective as a recognized diversity and inclusion leader to our organization’s commitment to support racial equity and economic inclusion,” said Diana Starks, vice president of People and Culture and director of the Office of Minority and Women Inclusion.
The council’s contributions to the Cleveland Fed, which is part of the U.S. central bank, benefit both bank employees and the communities the Bank serves in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Kentucky.
