St. Louis Fed’s Louisville Branch Launches Student Board of Directors

ST. LOUIS – The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis’ Louisville Branch is seeking rising high school seniors to apply for its new Louisville Student Board of Directors that will begin meeting in the fall. 

 

Applicants will be selected through a competitive process that includes an essay and letters of recommendation. Student board members will meet monthly to gain a thorough understanding of the Federal Reserve's role in the U.S. economy and learn about its unique partnerships with banks, businesses and the community.

 

“Serving on the Louisville Branch’s board will be an excellent opportunity for students. We are bringing the best of the Fed to the area with this unique program where participants will form professional networks, craft resumes, practice interview skills, and hone their knowledge of economics by learning how the Fed conducts monetary policy, among other vital roles the Fed plays in the economy,” Seema Sheth, senior vice president and regional executive of the Louisville Branch said. 

 

Applications will be accepted from Feb. 20 until May 1. Students who will be seniors in fall 2023 are eligible to apply. Two students per high school may apply, but only applicant per school will be accepted.

 

Ten to 12 applicants will be selected and will serve through May 2024.
