Diana Han Joins St. Louis Fed's Health Care Industry Council

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Diana Han, chief medical officer for GE Appliances and Lighting in Louisville, Ky., has been named to the Health Care Industry Council of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

The St. Louis Fed created four District Industry Councils in 2006, each designed to provide the Bank with important feedback regarding economic conditions within a key Eighth District industry sector. The members’ observations–along with the economic data and information developed through the Federal Reserve’s Beige Book, the St. Louis Fed’s Burgundy Books and meetings of the Bank’s boards of directors–help ensure that conditions of Main Street America are represented in monetary policy deliberations in Washington.

Each council is supported by one of the Bank’s four offices: St. Louis (real estate), Little Rock (agribusiness), Louisville (health care) and Memphis (transportation). The councils meet twice a year.
