Keynote Speakers
We were pleased to welcome back William M. Isaac for Monday’s general session. Mr. Isaac led the FDIC during the banking and S&L crises of the 1980s and is an outspoken critic of the manner in which the government handled the financial crisis of 2008-2009. He is also deeply concerned about current fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies and the adverse affect they are having on the economy. He shared his insights on the state of the banking industry, the political leadership chasm in Washington and what the future may hold in terms of fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies.
Mr. Isaac is Global Head of Financial Institutions for FTI Consulting, Chairman of Fifth Third Bancorp, and author of Senseless Panic: How Washington Failed America.
Leading off Tuesday’s program was a general session conducted by Mark Vitner, managing director and senior economist at Wells Fargo, who is responsible for tracking U.S. and regional economic trends. Based in Charlotte, NC, he also writes for the company’s Monthly Economic Outlook report, the Weekly Economic & Financial Commentary and provides regular updates on the housing markets, commercial real estate, regional economies and inflation.
Mr. Vitner joined Wachovia (then First Union) in 1993. Before that, he spent nine years as an economist for Barnett Banks in Jacksonville, FL.
Mr. Vitner’s commentary has been featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg and many other publications.
