Former Federal Reserve Chair Dr. Janet L. Yellen to Keynote Stifel 2018 Cross Sector Insight Conference

ST. LOUIS, April 10, 2018 -- Stifel Financial Corp. (NYSE:SF) today announced that former Federal Reserve Board Chair Dr. Janet L. Yellen will be a featured keynote speaker at the firm’s upcoming Cross Sector Insight Conference. Dr. Yellen will participate in a lunchtime fireside chat to be moderated by Stifel Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ron Kruszewski on Wednesday, June 13.

“Dr. Yellen deserves significant credit for helping steer the U.S. economy back from the brink after a devastating financial crisis and recession,” said Mr. Kruszewski. “Few people have had more impact in the past two decades in creating and implementing monetary policy than Dr. Yellen, and we are pleased to present to our clients a rare opportunity to hear from such a key figure in our economic history.”

Dr. Janet L. Yellen is a Distinguished Fellow in Residence at the Hutchins Center on Fiscal and Monetary Policy at the Brookings Institution. From February 2014 to February 2018, under the Obama and Trump Administrations, she served as Chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, making history as the first woman to be appointed to that position.

Prior to her four-year term as Chair, Dr. Yellen served as Vice Chair of the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors and, from 2004 to 2010, as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. While serving as a member of the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors (1994–1997), Dr. Yellen was appointed by President Bill Clinton as Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers. From 1997 to 1999, she also chaired the Economic Policy Committee of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
