Global Economy: Reality and Uncertainties

Mon Feb 23, 2026
6:00 PM - 7:30 PM

Uncertainty is inevitable but we can learn to navigate it. Richard Bard and Tony Ryan are very successful businessmen who have also had significant government roles: Tony Ryan was Under Secretary of the Treasury in the Bush administration and Richard Bard was Chair of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Board. Bard and Ryan will focus on the current state of the global and national economies and share how taking long-term perspectives provide calm and clarity to the headlines.

There is limited agreement from current information sources but discussions will provide much better understanding of:

  • What are the issues related to affordability?
  • What does the state of the job market?
  • What is the impact of AI?
  • How do geopolitics affect economic behavior?

Join us for this dynamic look at the context and trends of today’s global economic markets.
