Raphael Bostic, President and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, Joins Board of Directors of the Council for Economic Education

By: via Business Wire

The Council for Economic Education (CEE) is pleased to announce the appointment of Raphael Bostic, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, to its board of directors. With his extensive background in economics and public policy, Mr. Bostic brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the organization, further strengthening its mission to improve economic and financial literacy for K-12 students and educators.

Raphael Bostic has served as the President and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta since 2017. In this role, he oversees the Bank’s monetary policy, bank supervision, and payment services, while also engaging with the community to address key economic issues. His leadership and expertise have been instrumental in shaping economic policy and fostering inclusive growth in the Southeast region.

“We are thrilled to welcome Raphael Bostic to our board of directors,” said Nan J. Morrison, President and CEO of the Council for Economic Education. “His profound understanding of economic principles and his dedication to education align perfectly with our mission. We are confident that his insights and leadership will greatly enhance our efforts to equip young people with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in a rapidly changing economy.”

Throughout his distinguished career, Mr. Bostic has been a strong advocate for education and economic empowerment. Prior to his tenure at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, he held various academic and public service positions, including serving as a professor at the University of Southern California’s Price School of Public Policy and as Assistant Secretary for Policy Development and Research at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. More recently, Mr. Bostic has been actively engaged with CEE’s affiliate, the Georgia Council on Economic Education (GCEE).

“I am honored to join the Board of Directors of the Council for Economic Education,” said Dr. Bostic. “Education is critical to the Atlanta Fed’s mission to build an economy that works for everyone. I look forward to working with my fellow board members to advance CEE’s mission and to help ensure that students across the country have access to high-quality economics and personal finance education.”

As a member of the board of directors, Mr. Bostic will contribute to the strategic direction and governance of the Council for Economic Education. His appointment underscores CEE’s commitment to drawing on expertise and diverse perspectives to promote economic understanding and financial competency among young people.

Established in 1949, the Council for Economic Education is a leading non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring America’s youth have the foundational knowledge and skills they need to make informed financial decisions and create a better life for themselves and their families and communities. Through its programs and resources, CEE supports educators and students nationwide, fostering a generation of financially literate citizens.
