As you prepare for the next school year, take some time to have a "Conversation with the Chairman." The Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will address educators nationwide via video conference from 1 - 3:30 p.m. CDT on Aug. 7, 2012.

Bernanke’s live message will focus on the critical need for personal finance education in the wake of the recent financial crisis. After his remarks, Bernanke will take questions from educators gathered at sites from across the country.

K-12 educators are invited to the Kansas City Fed’s Omaha Branch to participate in this special conversation as part of the Federal Reserve’s professional development program.
