MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD
Welcome to the summer edition of the FSP Newsletter! We kicked off the summer with our annual Juneteenth Celebration in observance of freedom for enslaved people and recognition of the long road that still lies ahead to achieve equality. FSP strives to ensure that diverse persons are in the room where policy decisions are made impacting the financial well-being of under-represented populations.
FSP members and friends, if you have been following our work, you know it has been a busy and productive quarter. I am pleased to share a few highlights. On May 20, FSP, in partnership with Holland & Knight, hosted “The Future of Digital Assets: Policies, Risks, Opportunities.” The program featured a keynote address by video from Congressman Jonathan Jackson and a fireside chat with Congressman Shomari Figures, facilitated by FSP’s Executive Director, Yasmin Nelson. Expertly moderated by FSP member Yana Miles, the panel brought together leading voices in the digital assets space, including Tiffany Smith, Tamara Zeidan, Ayana Dow, and Frantz Jacques.
