Speaker Series Events

Each year, the Municipal Forum hosts a Speaker Series where municipal leaders provide updates and insights on the industry. Formats range from issuer led presentations and updates to investor panel discussions on the market. The series reflects the historical roots of the Municipal Forum, which got its start as gathering of municipal credit professionals that evolved to include all municipal industry participants.

The speaker for the Annual Meeting will be Connecticut Treasurer Erick Russell. Treasurer Russell administers Connecticut’s pension funds holding over $50 billion in assets, oversees Connecticut’s debt and cash management, collects and returns unclaimed property, and manages the Connecticut Higher Education Trust (CHET), a 529 plan that helps students and families save for higher education. In his first term, Treasurer Russell successfully secured funding to launch CT Baby Bonds, a first-in-the-nation program to combat generational poverty.
