The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia has launched a nationwide search for its next president to succeed Patrick T. Harker, whose tenure will conclude on June 30, 2025. The Bank is committed to an open, inclusive, and transparent search process, with ample opportunities for public input.

As part of our outreach efforts, the Philadelphia Fed is hosting a virtual public engagement forum on Tuesday, October 8, 5:30 p.m.–6:30 p.m. At this session, you will hear from members of the Search Committee about the process for selecting the next Philadelphia Fed president and the qualities they are seeking. You can also ask questions and offer feedback for the Search Committee to consider.

Participants will include:

  • Anthony Ibargüen, Chair of the Search Committee and the Philadelphia Fed Board of Directors; CEO, Quench USA, Inc. 
  • Sharmain Matlock-Turner, Search Committee Member and Deputy Chair of the Philadelphia Fed Board of Directors; CEO, Urban Affairs Coalition
  • Thomas Daniels, Search Consultant, Spencer Stuart
  • Moderator: Kelly Jones, Senior Vice President of Human Resources and Director of the Office of Minority and Women Inclusion, Philadelphia Fed

Advance registration is required. Attendees may submit questions in advance via Slido.com (enter code #FRBPOct8) or during the event.

A small group of community stakeholders will be invited to participate onsite. Following the event, a recording will be posted to the Presidential Search web page for anyone interested but unable to attend the virtual event. If you would like to ask a question or offer feedback outside of the public engagement forum, please email PresidentialSearch@phil.frb.org
